--try-secret-keys is used to specify keys to be used in addition to the
default secret key when it comes to decrypt messages with anonymous

I've never done that, except when I imported my old pgp 2.x keys in
GnuPG a long time ago (sometime when GnuPG became really usable on

Thanks for that (and the previous) It makes the brain hurt but
raises a few questions in my mind.
The real purpose of a Fermi estimate isn't to give you solid answers:
it's to give you an appreciation of the problem. If it does that, it's

this conversation made me curious, so I tried to do it myself. Here's
what I did on my work laptop, just now, five minutes ago (in my home dir):

No one. No one. No one knows how to do this simple task.

David,
I've read most of your emails about this, and I don't see any
description of the command you have entered or the error you are
getting.
Trying to diagnose "it doesn't work" error reports is a little like
trying to type blind: you might get it right, but you'll probably just
frustrate anyon
