Encrypting with multiple recipients depends on order
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Release: 1.2.1-1

Environment

Windows NT 4

Description

If I sign-encrypt a file using multiple recipients and include one of my keys in the list, only recipients up to and including my first key are used.

How To Repeat

try
gpg -se -r someone -r me -r sometwo filename

Fix

workaround: make sure you place yourself as a recipient last; this doesn't help if you want to include two "self" recipients, only the first will be used.

I can't duplicate this. I wonder if the problem is in the ordering of the arguments. Try:

gpg -r someone -r me -r sometwo -se filename

Argument ordering problem?

User confirms it was an argument ordering problem. Note
that the original report mentioned the problem was with
WinPT, so there might be a problem there.
