Hi,

if one gets a message encrypted with the --throw-keyid option the=20
receiver's GnuPG has to try all available secret keys and this can be a=20
bit annoying if one has several secret keys.
So, wouldn't it be a nice idea to have a new option "--encrypted-with"=20
to simplify this ?

I get a message from person X and I know, that he uses my key Y and if=20
there would be such an option I just had to type "gpg -d=20
=2D-encrypted-with Y" instead of GnuPG having to go through all keys.=20
Just and idea...

Malte
