How do I list all recipient of a message (including myself)?

$ fortune | gpg2 -er alpha at example -r bravo at example >x
[...]
$ gpg2 --status-fd 1 --with-colons --list-only --batch x
[GNUPG:] ENC_TO 5381EA4EE29BA37F 16 0
[GNUPG:] ENC_TO 6AE6D7EE46A871F8 16 0
[GNUPG:] ENC_TO B58845F7F409CD54 1 0
[GNUPG:] BEGIN_DECRYPTION
[GNUPG:] END_DECRYPTION

The ENC_TO lines show you the recipients:

    ENC_TO  <long_keyid>  <keytype>  <keylength>
	The message is encrypted to this LONG_KEYID.  KEYTYPE is the
	numerical value of the public key algorithm or 0 if it is not
	known, KEYLENGTH is the length of the key or 0 if it is not
	known (which is currently always the case).  Gpg prints this
	line always; Gpgsm only if it knows the certificate.

The first line above is for the bravo key, the second line for the alpha
key and the third line is my own encryption key.  If a hidden recipient
(option -R) is used you see 0000000000000000 for the long keyid.
