Documentation

Alist of aliases of email addresses that stand for encryption keys.

Each element is a list of email addresses (ALIAS EXPANSIONS...). When one of the recipients of a message being encrypted is ALIAS, instead of encrypting it for ALIAS, encrypt it for EXPANSIONS...

If EXPANSIONS is empty, ignore ALIAS as regards encryption. This is a handy way to avoid warnings about addresses that you don't have any key for.

The command epa-mail-encrypt uses this.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 24.4.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 24.4.
