TB decrypted it automatically, (but it obscured your preface above; the
decryption result in TB fills the whole reading window of the open message).
It contained this security header info:
Part of the message signed Good signature from Wilfred van Velzen
Key ID: 0xD50ECD4F514B75DC0A064F893BB37DA84A97932B
/ Signed on: 01/09/20, 3:58 PM Key fingerprint: D50E CD4F 514B 75DC 0A06

I assume that it can then be read by anyone who has the key of the
author. ?
If so, then a good practical use would be if you wanted a totally
obscured message stream by adding an extra layer of frustration to just
anyone, or even from the bots that skim messages. ? I kinda like that.
It would force the would-be reader to collect the keys of everyone who
is writing the messages, but still remain a lurker. ?
Not good good for sharing sensitive info though.
