Where did that come from? At every stage I've assumed that every person was using a unique pair of keys. If you misunderstood my comment about sending encrypted documents to multiple people, I apologise for that being ambiguous. If I rephrase that as "send separately encrypted copies to both such that each intended recipient can only decrypt the version addressed to them" does that make it clearer?

Can you explain again how encrypting something so that only I can decrypt it stops me from sharing it once I've decrypted it? That's where I get confused.
