Yes, it is optional. If you have more than one key it is advisable to create one and add --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- default-key 1234567812345678 encrypt-to 1234567812345678 keyid-format long keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So that gpg knows which is your default key (in this example the one with key id 1234567812345678), to which key all messages shall be encrypted in addition to the recipients (so that you can decrypt your own mails), that a keyserver shall be used, and finally to use the long keyid format. Depending on the mail program, you need to add an encrypt-to in any case. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
