It's typical for a PGP-supporting client to have an "encrypt-to-self"
option, often on by default, wherein any message you send out is also
encrypted to your own public key.

I use Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG), and simply added this line
to my .gnupg/options file (which I believe is .gnupg/gpg.conf
in more recent versions):

# The following line causes GnuPG to encrypt everything under

encrypt-to 42FE3A7C

You would, of course, put your own ID (or Big Brother's ID)
instead of mine, and thereafter everything you encrypt would
be readable by that ID.
