Have support for public servers activated. Turn on GPG support and import
your own public and private keys. (It makes no difference whether you have
any public key in your address book.)

Then, write an email to a third person and let IMP encrypt it.

Now comes the bug:
The email is encrypted with your public key and not with the recevier's
public key! (The latter were correct.) If he recevied this email, he cannot
decrypt it.

Possible resolutions:
 - Let IMP fetch the public key from public servers.
 - Get the key from address-book entries (gpg will possibly complain about
you cannot trust this key, but it should work)
 - Refuse to cypher this email, because you don't have the right key.
