how to specify a particular enryption subkey?

when encrypting to a recipient with multiple encryption subkeys, how
do i specify that enigmail should encrypt to/with any specific one?

afaict, i can only select the primary key, which, in this case, is a
DSA signing key ... again, the encryption keys are SUBKEYS.

thanks.

enigmail ignores 'keyserver' defs in "--options ../gpg.conf". why?

reading @ http://enigmail.mozdev.org/userprefs.html,

 "Enable using gpgkeys_*"
 ...
 "JS: Enables Enigmail to use the gpgkeys_hkp, gpgkeys_ldap, and
gpgkeys_http to retrieve keys from keyservers without using gpg
itself.
"

i've changed,

   ---	user_pref("extensions.enigmail.useGpgKeysTool",true);
   +++	user_pref("extensions.enigmail.useGpgKeysTool",false);

and, @ Enigmail->OpenPGP Preferences->Advanced->Additional parameters
for GnuPG, i've set,

	--no-comments --options /var/security/gpg_homedir/gpg.conf

in gpg.conf, i've defined,

	keyserver hkp://pgpkeys.mit.edu hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
	keyserver-options
no-honor-http-proxy,include-subkeys,no-include-revoked,no-include-disabled,no-auto-key-retrieve

but, when i attempt to Select/Upload keys to the keyservers, a dialog
opens with a _blank_ keyserver field/pulldown -- into which i can add
the keyserver.

what to i need to do/set to get Enigmail to respect the defs in gpg.conf?

ok.

then, what *does* this,

do?

iiuc, by setting ->false, enigmail *will* use "gpg itself" to retrieve
keys ... which should, then, use gpg.conf.

apparently _not_ the case, but confused ...

thanks.

Re: enigmail ignores 'keyserver' defs in "--options ../gpg.conf". why?

oops ...

AND, i do notice that 'some' gpg.conf setting -- i presume that that
are NOT set/overridden on the cmd line in enigmail -- ARE "picked up"
from gpg.conf.

is there some documentation of the {parameters} that Enigmail
sets/overrides at its command line?  yes, i can look at console output
--- but wondering if that's the complete set?

thanks.

Anything that Enigmail does not send on the command line is coming from
gpg.conf

Well, I guess the code is the documentation... :-(

Bottom line is:  whatever is Entered into a box within 'Preferences'
will be used as a 1st priority Command Line feed.

To have your Keyserver of choice appear in the 'drop down' selection
Menu; place it in the upper box for Keyservers.

To have Enigmail use it for Search/Look-Up; place it also in the lower
box.  Leaving the lower box 'Blank' (empty) should result in Enigmail
passing it's config on to gpg.exe and within GnuPG is where your
gpg.conf will be accessed.

And Lovely code it is, too!  How about the Enigmail Forum Site?  The
link escapes Me at the present moment.  Olav will have it at his
fingertips. :)

aha. i MISunderstood your earlier comment,

     Enigmail doesn't (and will not in the future) respect
     the settings in gpg.conf at all

as a global comment, rather than just re: --keyserver.

thanks for clearing that up.
