Oh, I missed this point. Thanks for putting it right. And it's more, no code left in gpg 2.1 for handling (secret) key material. Another mistake is (from what I have learned now) that you can only apply --try-secret-key together with --hidden-recipients. Anyway, if there was an "!" option as in --export-secret-subkeys keyID! you would be able to indicate/convince/force gpg 2.0.x to use a particular (sub)key. But I think this only refers to the case of having several subkeys, and at the moment of exporting one of them. And it's a 2.0.x option, I haven't checked the 2.1 manual for this particular option yet, though. Thanks Stephan
