Hi,

When you encrypt an email, it encrypts both to the recipient's public key
and to your own - this way you can read it as well as the recipient.

If you want to disable this for whatever reason, in the Enigmail > Advanced
Preferences dialog, there's an option to "Encrypt to Self".

Peace,
  Eddie Roosenmaallen
