sorry, i should have been clearer in the original post,

the point is, for messages where the sender doesn't want to encrypt to
self, (or even to an anonymous key) but is sending an encrypted message
encrypted to only one key (the receiver's),

since GnuPG obviously knows which session key it is using for the symmetric
encryption, and then is encrypting it to the receiver's key,
it seemed like it might not be too much extra work to have an option
to allow it to display the session key that it is using,
and then the sender could save it

tia,

with Respect,
