Thanks, Todd.  That works.  I didn't get Lionel's message, but went to the
archives to look at it.  Thanks, Lionel. I put the line in ~.gnupg/options
and did a test mail.  It tried to encrypt with my key, but I got the
following message:

your_key_id skipped  public key not found

I find my key listed in 'gpg --list-keys' and don't understand this.  Can
someone shed light on it?

Thanks,
Anita
