Steps to reproduce:
- Create a gpg key with multiple valid encryption subkeys; and have the last generated key present only in another device
- Send an encrypted email to anyone
Actual results:
I can't decrypt my own message after sending it because it was only encrypted with the latest subkey
Expected results:
It should have been encrypted with all my valid encryption subkeys, to be readable in all my devices. Keeping all subkeys on all devices defeats the purpose of having them.
Some may prefer an explicit list of subkeys to encrypt for in case of having legacy keys hanging around as discussed in rnp (https://github.com/rnpgp/rnp/issues/1313).
Additionally, this probably also affects people sending messages to me. It probably will only encrypt for the last device and leave me unable to read my email in the "older" ones.

At this time we only encrypt for the most recently created encryption subkey.
I think this is a duplicate of bug 1667232, do you agree?

Oh yes, sorry about that. Should have searched more thoroughly.
