I dont know whats going on here but im having issues again!
Ive writtena message in text editor and saved it to documents and then I right click it in documents and choose to encrypt which I do using the persons pubic pgp key. It then saves as .pgp file. When i click the file and paste it its not an encrypted message but as a file location and x special nautilus whatevr that means.
CAn soemone advise the easiest way to encrypt a message and then to paste it to someone cheers

You are doing it wrong if you want to encrypt a text. Use the Tails PGP applet for that. Do the way you did if you want to encrypt a file.
