I still have the problem described in my previous e-mail. Can it be
that this is faulty behavior of the GnuPG?

I would create a bug report at [1] so it does not get lost. Does
something speak against it?

Hi Werner and everyone,

thank you for your response, I was hoping that this would be possible. 

On the other hand, I have experienced a behavior I could only explain
with auto-key-locate being restricted to the pure form. Maybe you can
enlighten me on this case.

I demonstrate this behavior on a system which uses the attached
configuration file gpg.conf. I tested this with GnuPG 2.1.18 and
2.2.12. 

Preparation
===
rm msg.*
echo "hello world" > msg.txt
gpg --batch --yes --delete-keys edward...@fsf.org

Bad Case (does not work)

gpg --always-trust -e -r "" msg.txt

gpg: : skipped: No public key
gpg: msg.txt: encryption failed: No public key

Good Case (works)
=
gpg --always-trust -e -r "edward...@fsf.org" msg.txt

gpg: key 9FF2194CC09A61E8: 7454 signatures not checked due to
missing keys
gpg: key 9FF2194CC09A61E8: public key "Edward, the GPG Bot " imported
gpg: no need for a trustdb check with 'always' trust model
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:   imported: 1
gpg: automatically retrieved 'edward...@fsf.org' via keyserver


Note: The only difference is the missing angle brackets.

Can you please explain the difference? That would be of great help!

Thanks
