Encrypting to secondary key

[Larry Ellis]

When encrypting to a DSA/El Gamal key, GPG forces use of the secondary (El Gamal) key for encryption.  In verbose mode:

gpg -v -e -r <primary keyid> <file>

results in:

gpg: using secondary key <secondary keyid> instead of primary key <primary keyid>



However, the same message is issued if the secondary key is specified directly:

gpg -v -e -r <secondary keyid> <file>

also results in:

gpg: using secondary key <secondary keyid> instead of primary key <primary keyid>


One cannot argue with the truth of the message, but I wonder if it is intentional to output this message even when the key is specified directly....
