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
