Documentation

List of own key ID(s) or t; determines additional recipients with S/MIME.

If t, also encrypt to key for message sender; if list, encrypt to those keys. With this variable, you can ensure that you can decrypt your own messages. Alternatives to this variable include Bcc'ing the message to yourself or using the encrypt-to option in gpgsm.conf (see man gpgsm(1)). Note that this variable and the encrypt-to option give away your identity for *every* encryption without warning, which is not what you want if you are using, e.g., remailers. Also, use of Bcc gives away your identity for *every* encryption without warning, which is a bug, see: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=18718
