If you want to send me an encrypted email use my public key. Privet keys
are only used to digitally sign and decrypt email.

Any one with your public key can decrypt the email message you sent me.
Even if it was only meant for me. If you had used my public key I would
be the only one who could decrypt the message.

Down load my public key and give it a try.
