Indeed, because 'long headers' has nothing to do with GnuPG per se, it is a MUA viewing option that displays the 'long headers' aka 'extended headers' of the message itself. I pointed out that fact, because the receiving MUA (in long headers mode) + GnuPG indicated that the message, although without text, had been encrypted and signed. If there is no text to be decrypted or verified, how does the receiving GnuPG + MUA "knows" that this was an encrypted and signed message? > >>At the receiving end, how does GnuPG processes a message that has >>been encrypted using >>"--for-your-eyes-only", without --output?

Then, is that combination of options, --for-your-eyes-only and --output, meant to be used, at the receiving end, by PGP users only, and/or by users of any other encryption software/platform that has the capability to display the decrypted/verified text in a secure viewer form, or in such a way that the decrypted/verified output can be viewed, but not saved? A correction to my previous post: when a message processed in MacGPG (GnuPG for the Mac), with those two options, is decrypted using GnuPG (e.g. by command line) the verbose gpg output contains a line reading: gpg: NOTE: sender requested "for-your-eyes-only" Is this line intended for the recipient's information only, or is there a way the recipient can actually view the decrypted/verified text in a secure viewer mode? I apologize if this a repetition of my previous question.
