I can't blame them. All the online tutorials I found were overflowing with information I have no use for, and none of them just clearly stated "you use someone's public key to encrypt a message that only that person with their private key can then decrypt -- and no, you're not supposed to be able to decrypt your own letter to them after it's been encrypted. Also, ascii armor it."Guess I should have checked the forums instead of relying on random internet searches...
