I am using gpg Windows version 1.2.1

I am trying to set up an automated environment where I use scripting/batch
files to perform various duties such as installing gpg, generating a key
pair, exporting keys, importing keys, encrypting and decrypting files.

I have been able to find how to do all except for one without needing user
intervention.   I can't get around GPG asking questions when encrypting data
for a public key I have imported unless I first go in using "GPG --edit-key
<id>"  and establish a trust value.
Once trust is established for the particular key, no question is posed when
encrypting.

Is there an option similar to --passphrase-fd 0 to use when encrypting
say --trust-yes  (--yes and --batch etc don't result in getting away from
the question being asked and the batch file hangs waiting for a keyboard
response)

The other way around it would be to have someway of assigning trust - that
could be done via batch without questions being asked.   There is such an
option for creating a key pair.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex Watson
