[horde] Problem with PGP encrypted mail and Outlook 2003

[Bill Day]

Well, I found my answer.  Horde does not use the gpg keyring; it relies upon
keys in Turba, apparently.  I did not have myself listed with my work key
and email address in the address book.  Horde then used my home key to
encrypt the message as both sender and recipient.  I learned this because I
forwarded some of the emails that would not decrypt to another account, and
they started asking me for my password for my home key (the sending key),
not my work key (the recipient's).  If this behavior is verified, then
perhaps it would be appropriate to modify IMP slightly so that if it does
not find a recipient's PGP/GPG key it returns an error rather than trying to
encrypt to the sender's key.
