passing a recipient to gpg

[Harald Katzer]

hi,

currently I am playing around with GnuPG for studying it's features and=20
funcionality.

Now I simply want to specify an recipient on command line using so I type=
d:
gpg --recipient foo --sign --encrypt testfile
or=20
gpg -r foo --sign --encrypt testfile

But now gpg asks me for foo's passphrase, though foo is meant to be the=20
recipient, and ignores foo2's secret-key for signing the testfile.

Whats wrong??

Regards,

Harald
