While I am using gpg 2.0.17 on a Windows OS, I often have instances where I need to decrypt a few random messages from a large batch of messages. Normally, I can pipe the passphrase, symmetric or public key, to the gpg command, and it will attempt to match the passphrase with the keys on my key ring for each message. if a message does not correspond to the key after trying each key, the process simply skips the file and moves to the next one to try again. If there are several keys on my key ring, but I am interested in trying only one of them, or if the passphrase is for symmetric encryption instead of for a key, it takes extra time for the process to try each of the keys in turn. Is there a way to tell gpg to use just one of the keys if any? I have tried specifying this as one of the options "-u userID", but it seems to ignore my specification and it always tries to use a different key from the one I intend. Thanks.
