I didn't want to give my tormail address with the key!Okay. When you asked someone to send you a message, I assumed you meant email but now it occurs to me that maybe that is what those messages are on the forum that I can't decrypt? Those are messages posted for specific individuals that have the private keys to open them?? I'm sooooooooooooo confused!!! :-[PGP encryption is used for a wide variety of communication systems and use cases.e.g.EmailsPrivate MessagesPublic Messages for a person or group of peopleEncrypting addresses to give to vendors so SR's servers can't have your address if they got raided by LE.PGP is actually a cryptosystem, it does lots of things other than simply encrypting emails. Concentrate on learning how to encrypt and decrypt for now, but be aware that cryptography has powers far beyond encryption.
