Note:

If you set the Encoding field to indicate that the message should be encrypted and keys are not available for all recipients, you might be able to send the message to the PGP Universal Server for further processing. In this case, you have the option to click Send to Server.

If you use the PGP Universal Server and your system administrator has specified a minimum set of actions, the PGP Universal Server might encrypt or sign your message even if you did not select these actions.
