Either you are using the phrase "secret key" in a context with
which I am unfamiliar, or you do not understand PGP. PGP/GPG does not
transfer your secret key component when encrypting a message to
another. It is possible to encrypt a message to someone else's public
key without *having* a secret key of your own in the first place.
