NAME

       gpg-mailkeys - sends emails containing keys to their owners

SYNOPSIS

       gpg-mailkeys id...

DESCRIPTION

       gpg-mailkeys sends the owners of the keys listed on the command line a mail each, containing their public
       key. After signing, you can use this tool to send everyone the new signatures they just got.

       If you're interested in encrypting the signature before it's sent, in order to verify that the associated
       address actually belongs to the key owner, you should check out caff

OPTIONS

       None

ENVIRONMENT

       NAME         Set the name to use when sending messages

       EMAIL        Set the email address to use when sending messages

       SENDMAIL_ARGS
                    Set  arguments  to  pass  to  $SENDMAIL.  This  can be useful to set credentials in order to
                    authenticate to an smtp server when using ssmtp for example.

       HOME         Set the default home directory.

       GNUPGBIN     Set the gpg binary.  Default: "gpg".

       GNUPGHOME    Set the default working directory for gpg.  Default: "~/.gnupg".

FILES

       The behavior of gpg-mailkeys can be updated through some files available in the user home directory.

       Thus, ~/.gpg-mailkeysrc allows the user  to  overwrite  the  default  value  for  the  above  environment
       variables, and any text in ~/.signature will be appended to the end of the body text of the message.
