Yes. I think OGnus is supposed to simply make a copy of the mail
today, and if you want to be able to decrypt it yourself, you'll need
to
(setq mc-encrypt-for-me t)
or something. But I don't understand why it's stored unencrypted for
you. Are you sure encryption works at all (use preview)? How do the
mail in your sent group look like? MML tags?
