In order to send me a message you would have to include your name too.

$ box seal -from Karl -to Stefan <MESSAGE >SEALED, which then writes
a binary authenticated encrypted blob and which I could only open
then if I would be in possession of your pub key. It is also advised
when you send me such message that you consider to base64 etc. encode
it, prior sending/posting.

BTW. my key is currently on my offline computer which I am not using
now, because I am a bit busy with other things on my online computer.

Regards
Stefan
