To spare people the work of writing the same „simple script“ over and over again.

Does this really work?
I mean especially the part: --recipient "$KEY_ID"
in case the string contains more than one ID, my version of GnuPG only encrypts to the first one mentioned.
I have to specify --recipient KEY1 --recipient KEY2 and so on.
