[olug] quick pgp question

[Eric Penne]

Can somebody do me a favor and test this out with me?

Send me an encrypted message.  My public key is listed at pgp.mit.edu or 
any of the keyservers that sync with that one.

Does it matter what email address it goes to?  My public key says 
epenne at ieee.org but could somebody send it to epenne at olug.org and I 
would still be able to decrypt it?
