Howto override "encrypt-to KEYHERE" in gpg.conf?

I have imported a new / additional primary key (0x2A5D250B1C9BE7D1) to my keyring. But my default-key in gpg.conf is not changed: $ egrep '^(default-key|encrypt-to) ' ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf default-key 040B8410C3F36C1E encrypt-to 040B8410C3F36C1E My goal is to run gpg com
