Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

It is common that a user wants to be able to read her local copy of
encrypted mail. 

easyPG tries to find the encryption recipient in the "to", "cc" and
"bcc" header of the mail being encrypted, not encrypting to the user
herself in default. And there is no options for that.

A good way to handle the issue, is to use the "encrypt-to" option in
$HOME/.gnupg/gpg.conf, according to the comment around which it is just
designed for the very purpose.

I spent quite a lot of time figuring this out, with the help of emacs
gurus on #emacs freenode channel. 

So we suggest informing the users of easyPG in its info document with
the use of gpg option for encrypting to oneself.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
