gpg --list-packets --list-only  

but clearly you identified yourself as a recipient because you were prompted for a passphrase.

No, 
it 
does 
not!
<gpg 
--list-packets 
file.gpg>  
does 
the 
same 
as  
<gpg 
file.gpg>.
The 
only 
difference 
is 
that 
gpg 
gives 
additional 
packet 
information 
before 
asking 
the 
passphrases 
three 
times 
for 
each 
recipient. 
So 
the 
described 
problem 
for 
an 
encrypted 
file 
with 
several 
recipients 
stays 
the 
same.
=====================================
C:\>gpg 
--list-packets 
file.gpg
:pubkey 
enc 
packet: 
version 
3, 
algo 
16, 
keyid 
F2A47460E192093D
  
  
  
  
data: 
[4095 
bits]

bits]

You 
need 
a 
passphrase 
to 
unlock 
the 
secret 
key 
for
user: 
"Dirk 
Traulsen 
(dtl-2) 
<Dirk.Traulsen at lypso.de>"
4096-bit 
ELG-E 
key, 
ID 
E192093D, 
created 
2005-10-21 
(main 
key 
ID 
CDDB9911)

Please 
enter 
the 
passphrase:
