What you really want is to tell gpg to always encrypt messages to your
personal key as well, which will always make them viewable by you.  This
way you don't have to worry about saving unencrypted versions of the
message to disk, or there being two distinct versions of the message
(one encrypted to the recipient and a different one encrypted to you).

See the "encrypt-to" gpg option [0].
