<h3><em>Step 3.b</em> Send a test encrypted email</h3>
<p>Write a new email in your email program, addressed to adele-en@gnupp.de. Make the subject "Encryption test" or something similar and write something in the body. Don't send it yet.</p>
<p>Click the icon of the key in the bottom right of the composition window (it should turn yellow). This tells Enigmail to encrypt the email with the key you downloaded in the last step.</p>
- <p>Click Send. Enigmail will pop up a window that says "Recipients not valid, not trusted or not found."</p>
+ <p class="notes">Next to the key, you'll notice an icon of a pencil. Clicking this tells Enigmail to add a special, uniqe signature to your message, generated using your private key. This is a separate feature from encryption, and you don't have to use it for this guide.</p>
+<p>Click Send. Enigmail will pop up a window that says "Recipients not valid, not trusted or not found."</p>
<p>To encrypt and email to Adele, you need her public key, and so now you'll have Enigmail download it from a keyserver. Click Download Missing Keys and use the default in the pop-up that asks you to choose a keyserver. Once it finds keys, check the first one (Key ID starting with 9), then select ok. Select ok in the next pop-up.</p>

<h3>Copy your revocation certificate to somewhere safe</h3>
- <p>Remember when you created your keys and saved the revocation cerfiticate that GnuPG made? It's time to copy that cerfiticate onto the safest digital storage that you have -- the ideal thing is a flash drive, disk or hard drive stored in a safe place in your home.</p>

<p>If your private key ever gets lost or stolen, you'll need this certificate file.</p>
