Should always add myself as recipient when ecrypting?

[Paolo Bolzoni]

Dear list,

The subject pretty much says it all already, I am using GnuPG 2.1.11
(with libgcrypt 1.6.5) and I was wondering if I should always add
myself as recipient when encrypting a file, of course, in addition of
the real recipient.

Is there a reason not to?

Cheers,
Paolo
