Yes; this seems like the ultimate approach to this problem, unless it will be possible for GPG to completely hide receivers - I am guessing this is inherently impossible?

I'm not sure how gpg could do that -- the metadata leak of most
recipients (To:, Cc:) is *outside* of the material that GnuPG handles,
since GnuPG doesn't see the mesage headers when it's encrypting the
body.  Maybe i'm misunderstanding you though?


I mean the recipient key list in the header of the encrypted packet [0][1]. I assume there must be a key list entry for each receiving key (even though it does not need to be accurate). It would be better to just remove the whole table of receiving keys, than setting each of them to 0.
