> 1. Can I set default behavior to not have to specify a user ID? Yes. You may find the FAQ to be useful:

When using -e ("encrypt to"), you must also use -r ("recipient"), and -r must come first. You may also wish to use -s ("sign"). Personally, I like to use the long form of the options, as I think it makes things easier to read. For instance, to encrypt a message for me you would type: gpg --recipient 0xD6B98E10 --sign --encrypt filename.txt _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
