    Hi there,

    I want to encrypt the contact form data. So, I have installed the plugin and generated the key pair for encryption and decryption. I have submitted the contact form and the email notification was sent to two emails, one of them was admin email address and another one was just another email address. The notification I received in the admin email address was not encrypted. It is just adding the signature below the message body.
    eg :
    —–BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE—–

    wv8AAAEkBAEBCAAY/wAAAAUCWbEAi/8AAAAJEHetlvB8hQ33AAA03wf+NN9NVR5l
    b5N+0mt+z14vy/wfV2mNHqx08ZrFMw9FN2wS6t5tRkNxytyAMT8/2p1dANbQjuu7

    —–END PGP SIGNATURE—–
    The email I received in another email address does not even have the signature.
    Why Messages are not encrypted?

    Then, I tried to use the public key in the admin’s public key option. So, I have used same public key generated by the plugin and this time it sent the encrypted notification to admin email address and and plan text email to another email address.

    How can I send encrypted email to all the email addresses I put in the contact form?

    Now, I want to decrypt the email notification and I am using MS outlook. There is this Open PGP outlook plugin https://www.encryptomatic.com/openpgp/ For encryption, I have used public key generated by this outlook addon in the admin’s public key option of the plugin so that I can encrypt it. But the plugin is not encrypting the email by that public key. Why?

    I hope I made my self clear. Any help would be appreciated. ??

    So, I have installed the plugin and generated the key pair for encryption and decryption.

    The key this plugin generates is a signing key, not an encryption key.

    For encryption, each user must generare their own key themselves.

    Please read the Installation instructions, which says this.

    Thank you for the response!

    it is still not encrypting when I used my own public key. I have used following key generated by this plugin.

    Side note: Hi @techyuvraj please don’t post PGP keys here. Not for any privacy reasons but it doesn’t work and the forums will mark your post as spam or pending.

    If you like, post that public key to https://pastebin.com/ and instead share the link to that paste.
