thanks (especially to david shaw) for answering my questions, however
stupid my questions are ;)
if i have multiple sub-keys, can i choose which key to use for encryption?

-------------------------------------------------------
(note: those RSA keys are *NOT* on my public key-ring :: i'm just
experimenting with them locally)
i thought i could tell gpg which sub-key to encrypt to, but it seems to
use the sub-key that *it* wants to encrypt to.
note: 2048R/7A5B8533 is a sign only RSA key, so i don't actually expect
that one to produce an encryption.
