[Question] Is there a way to decrypt a message I sent to a vendor to double check the contents of the message were correct?

Thanks

Only if you encrypted to your own public key as well.

Edit: Some software does this by default or it is configurable. One example I use daily is Enigmail. So let us know what you use if you didn't explicitly include your own key.

If you are using GPG you can hit control-Z in the window after encrypting. That will pop it back to what it was before you encrypted.

I know that doesn't help you now, but it might in the future.

Another thing you can do is put your address in a text file on your computer or something. Always copy from that text file. That saves you from making a fat-fingered mistake while under stress.

Nope. If you have doubts, just send a second one saying tht you think the first one has errors.

If you didn't exit out of the PGP client try undo

Yes. It's going to take a real long while, hope you brought lunch, some soap and a towel. Toothbrush might not be a bad idea either.
