Sending GPG encryped messages

[Claus Atzenbeck]

Hello,

I set up a sending filter with Alpine 1.10 (Mac OS 10.5.2) that would
allow me to send encrypted messages. It looks like that:

gpg -east --recipient _RECIPIENTS_

It works with a single recipient only, because --recipient takes only
one. _RECIPIENTS_, however, expands to all recipients.

Is there a workaround?

As a side note, I also realized that _RECIPIENTS_ does not include my
own e-mail address, such that I need to add my address explicitly.

Thanks!
Claus

Yes, wrap the call to gpg in a script, so call a script that calls gpg.
You can make it decide which one of the _RECIPIENTS_ you will use to
encrypt in your script.

I'm missing something conceptually .... I thought that individual copies
of the mail would have to be encrypted for each recipient.
