GS> Can you do this with GPG and GPGShell? Yes. Through the 'encrypt-to <key id>' option, GnuPG will always encrypt to the key you specify. This works with TB!'s GnuPG plugin if you encrypt messages with it. If you're using GPG Shell to encrypt, a dialog will appear for you to choose the public key/s to encrypt to and the key you defined with the 'encrypt-to' option will already be selected.

But it would seem to me that it wouldn't be free for commercial use unless they changed the licensing. They've only ceased further development and ?further sales.

However, if you use multiple keys and wish to use the GnuPG plugin's smart-matching feature to your advantage, it makes for a superior solution to the PGP plugin for auto-signing messages. PGP Tray and GPG Tray are both nice to use though I think GPG Shell has more user features where it's decrypted text viewer is concerned. The viewer is more configurable and offers a nice and convenient way to work with encrypted text files in general and not only in the context of e-mail. GS> This is why I posted this question here in TBUDL. Discussions about PGP/GnuPG and their plugins are certaily on-topic here though there's PGPBasics, a list dedicated to discussions on PGP and GnuPG. Many TB users subscribe there so the plugins are discussed as well. I know you already know this Greg, but for the rest of the members I still mention it. GS> Could you or someone else with knowledge shed some light here. TIA!
