To clarify, it's the exclamation point ("!") that forces GPG to use a
specific key. Normally GPG will pick what it thinks is the appropriate
key, but the exclamation point will override that automatic choice and
use only the key ID specified by the user.
I'm not aware of any email clients that allow such an override -- it's
typically only used in the command line.
has some more details.

list packets output & other misc
in a test key i have 4 subkeys; 2 for sign and 2 for encrypt gnupg automatically chooses the most recently created 's' and 'e' subkeys to sign and encrypt a file how can i mandatorily specify using other subkeys for the same primary key for 's' or 'e' either on command line or in an email client for example ? when i list packets, it tells me which key was used for 's' (in long format) but for 'e' (in short format) it says gpg: encrypted with ELG key, ID 0x how do i determine which key was used for encrypt ? do i assume it used the most recently created 'e' subkey ? is there a reference for the numerical values of version, hash, cipher, algo, sk2, etc ? ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
