The reason it works only with mail addresses is that I don't see an application case for anything else. Gpg is most commonly used for email encryption and here you need an email address anyway. --auto-key-locate makes this case easy by retrieving a corresponding key. If you have the case that you need to encrypt to a key which has no email address included or not the one you want, you need some kind of mapping. I usually do this with the group option. Any automatic mapping will be hard to do because there is no clear way to associate a keyid with an email address. For file encryption it should not be too much work to first fetch the key and then use it. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
