gpg-mailkeys - sends emails containing keys to their owners
Contents
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 caffEnvironment

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
