Hi folks, I already asked the question here about half a year ago, but IIRC didn't get any reaction:
Imagine you have a file containing one or more PGP-Public-Keys, and you want to encrypt something for this key, without adding the key to your public keyring. Is there some commandline option to easily achieve this? I would expect something like: $ gpg --recipient-file <KEYFILE> -e instead of: $ gpg --recipient <KEY-ID> -e I can achieve something similar, by using: $ gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /tmp/keyring.once --import <KEYFILE> $ gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /tmp/keyring.once --trust-model always --recipient <KEY-ID> -e But this requires an additional temporary file (which needs to be deleted), and I still have to look for the Key-IDs in the file, to give them as parameters. If there isn't an option for this, I think it would be a neat feature to implement. One might ask what this is good for: I'm thinking mostly about automated systems. Imagine a webforum, mailinglist or something similar. The interface could provide the user with an input-area to paste a public key(s) into, and then every automated mail (like forgotten-password, notifications or reminders) could be encrypted directly to those keys.
