However this is sometimes not the key you want. All other MUAs preset a list of available and matching keys. Only EGP does not. Thus I wonder whether it is really justified to add such a feature to gpg. The next step would be to keep a database of keys recently used in communication and to assign them some trust. I think that is better placed in a MUA. Salam-Shalom, Werner
