it appears that gpg complains if you try to encrypt to a key that you
have not signed.  even with notty.  Is their a force option or somthing?
~ I think this is somewhat of an enigmail issue.

Also the error message is not quite clear.  It should simply state
'Encrypting to a key you have not signed is not allowed by default.'  I
know that is also insufficient because likely you dont have to sign it
directly...
