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.
