It is allow, but it warns you that there is no trusted path and asks
if you are sure you want to continue (which you can't see from
Enigmail).  Encrypting to your key (no trust path) through GPGShell
yields this...

It is NOT certain that the key belongs to the person named
in the user ID.  If you *really* know what you are doing,
you may answer the next question with yes

Use this key anyway?


GPG seems to be pretty clear about it.
