To send an encrypted message, you will need to have the recipient's public key. And they will need to have your public key to send to you. An easy way to get started is to just send your public key to anyone you want to communicate with through OpenPGP.
If someone sends you their public key, you can copy it and import it into the Encryptomatic OpenPGP keyring from your clipboard. Go to Key Management > Key Import > ...From Clipboard.
When you have a recipient's private key in your keyring, create a new email message.
Click the "Encrypt" button in the Outlook toolbar, and then send the message.
