Here's a message sent unencrypted. Note the lock icons in the icon bar, showing that you are sending and receiving unencrypted.

Here, I clicked on the Tx: lock to activate encryption before sending the second message. The plugin requested the other user's public key, got it, and used it to encrypt the message.

Here the other user sent back an encrypted response. Our key was sent to him transparently when he requested it, and our Rx lock shows that we got an encrypted message from him.
