Sorry if I've been fuzzy in my problem description.

I am sitting at the office and want to send an encrypted email to my
private account for which I have the public key at hand.

Now encrypting and sending in any way leads to a message that seems to
contain the encrypted message for _both_ the recipient (my private
address) and the sender (my at the office).  

Of course it is useful if the message that was Gcc'ed is encrypted
with my office-key so that I can actually access my outbox but I
really wonder why the outgoing message is encrypted with both keys.

I didn't know about that, that might come in handy in other
situations.  Thanks.
