How do I send my key to someone?

If the recipient isn't using encryption yet, then ask them to install Tiger Envelopes, send them a simple message, and wait for their reply. That's it. Envelopes will automatically exchange keys for both of you. The next time either of you sends a message to the other, it will automatically be private.

If the other person isn't using Tiger Envelopes, you can still exchange keys by hand. Send them the file that was created for your email address when you installed and configured Tiger Envelopes. Look in the PublicKeys folder of your Envelopes data folder. You'll find a file with your email address in it (e.g., my.address.bc.pub). Ask them to send you their key, and then import it.
