  @item --try-all-secrets
  Don't look at the key ID as stored in the message but try all secret
  keys in turn to find the right decryption key. This option forces the
  behaviour as used by anonymous recipients (created by using
  @option{--throw-keyids}) and might come handy in case where an encrypted
  message contains a bogus key ID.
