 1.2.2 Key related options
 -------------------------
 
 `--recipient NAME'
 `-r'
      Encrypt for user id NAME. If this option or `--hidden-recipient'
      is not specified, GnuPG asks for the user-id unless
      `--default-recipient' is given.
 
 `--hidden-recipient NAME'
 `-R'
      Encrypt for user ID NAME, but hide the key ID of this user's key.
      This option helps to hide the receiver of the message and is a
      limited countermeasure against traffic analysis. If this option or
      `--recipient' is not specified, GnuPG asks for the user ID unless
      `--default-recipient' is given.
 
 `--encrypt-to `name''
      Same as `--recipient' but this one is intended for use in the
      options file and may be used with your own user-id as an
      "encrypt-to-self". These keys are only used when there are other
      recipients given either by use of `--recipient' or by the asked
      user id.  No trust checking is performed for these user ids and
      even disabled keys can be used.
 
 `--hidden-encrypt-to `name''
      Same as `--hidden-recipient' but this one is intended for use in
      the options file and may be used with your own user-id as a hidden
      "encrypt-to-self". These keys are only used when there are other
      recipients given either by use of `--recipient' or by the asked
      user id.  No trust checking is performed for these user ids and
      even disabled keys can be used.
 
 `--no-encrypt-to'
      Disable the use of all `--encrypt-to' and `--hidden-encrypt-to'
      keys.
 
 `--group `name=value1 ''
      Sets up a named group, which is similar to aliases in email
      programs.  Any time the group name is a recipient (`-r' or
      `--recipient'), it will be expanded to the values specified.
      Multiple groups with the same name are automatically merged into a
      single group.
 
      The values are `key IDs' or fingerprints, but any key description
      is accepted. Note that a value with spaces in it will be treated as
      two different values. Note also there is only one level of
      expansion -- you cannot make an group that points to another
      group. When used from the command line, it may be necessary to
      quote the argument to this option to prevent the shell from
      treating it as multiple arguments.
 
 `--ungroup `name''
      Remove a given entry from the `--group' list.
 
 `--no-groups'
      Remove all entries from the `--group' list.
 
 `--local-user NAME'
 `-u'
      Use NAME as the key to sign with. Note that this option overrides
      `--default-key'.
 
 `--try-all-secrets'
      Don't look at the key ID as stored in the message but try all
      secret keys in turn to find the right decryption key. This option
      forces the behaviour as used by anonymous recipients (created by
      using `--throw-keyids') and might come handy in case where an
      encrypted message contains a bogus key ID.
