I'm using gpg with gpg.el, but I have just tracked down the place where
it goes wrong: my customisation. I have it archive mails and news before
processing mime stuff (for attachments), which also catches pgpmime
processing. This is done via:

(defadvice gnus-inews-do-gcc 
  (around gnus-news-do-gcc-inhibit-body-encoding  first activate)
  (let ((message-inhibit-body-encoding t))
    ad-do-it))

Alright, I commented it out. Let's see now what gnus does.

[silence, as I restart Xemacs and send a test mail]

Yes, now it appears in the archive, encrypted as it is supposed to be
(with the receipient's public key).

Alright, the first point (unencrypted messages in the archive) was a
local configuration error, but I'd really like messages I send encrypted
to be encrypted such that I can read it (as in, with my public key) in
the archive. It looks a little tricky, can it be done?
