How to tell Mutt NOT to encrypt locally saved mails?

Hello,
finally i have managed to setup Mutt with PGP Support, even Enigmail encrypted mails are now being automatically decrypted. But there is one thing that annoys me. I have a full disk encryption (I confess, apart from the boot partition…) so i don't need to locally encrypt the mails with PGP that are in my sent folder. Now all mails that i send are being encrypted with the public key of the recipient, so i'm not able to read then again. How can i change this behavior?

Here is the PGP relevant part of my .muttrc:

set pgp_use_gpg_agent = yes
set pgp_decode_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --output - %f"
set pgp_verify_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --output - --verify %s %f"
set pgp_decrypt_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --output - %f"
set pgp_sign_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --output - --armor --detach-sign --textmode %?a?-u %a? %f"
set pgp_clearsign_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --output - --armor --te xtmode --clearsign %?a?-u %a? %f"
set pgp_encrypt_only_command="pgpewrap gpg --batch --quiet --no-verbose --output - --encrypt --textmode --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f"
set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="pgpewrap gpg --batch --quiet --no-verbose --textmode --output - --encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a? --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f"
set pgp_import_command="gpg --no-verbose --import -v %f"
set pgp_export_command="gpg --no-verbose --export --armor %r"
set pgp_verify_key_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --fingerprint --check-sigs %r"
set pgp_list_pubring_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --with-colons --list-keys %r"
set pgp_list_secring_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --with-colons --list-secret-keys %r"
message-hook '!(~g|~G) ~b"^-----BEGIN\ PGP\ (SIGNED\ )?MESSAGE"' "exec check-traditional-pgp" #mutt doesn't recognizes enigmails as encrypted otherwise
set pgp_autosign = yes

This is confusing. Mail that you have encrypted to send to another party (using their key) should be readable in your sent items folder.
See my mutt settings: https://bitbucket.org/jasonwryan/shiv/src/tip/.mutt/

AFAIK you must add yourself to the recipients if you want to be able to read the encrypted mail.

Have you set-up your alternates?
