NAME

encode-sender - Encodes a certificate into an Autocrypt header

SYNOPSIS

encode-sender [-o|--output] [--email] [--prefer-encrypt] [-h|--help] [FILE]

DESCRIPTION

Encodes a certificate into an Autocrypt header

A certificate can be encoded and included in a header of an email message. This command encodes the certificate, adds the senders email address (which must match the one used in the "From" header), and the senders "prefer-encrypt" state (see the Autocrypt spec for more information).

The converse operation is "sq autocrypt decode".

OPTIONS

Writes to FILE or stdout if omitted

--email=ADDRESS

Sets the address [default: primary userid]

--prefer-encrypt=PREFER-ENCRYPT [default: nopreference] [possible values:
nopreference, mutual]

Sets the prefer-encrypt attribute

-h, --help

Print help information

[FILE]

Reads from FILE or stdin if omitted

EXAMPLES

Encodes a certificate

sq autocrypt encode-sender juliet.pgp

Encodes a certificate with an explicit sender address

sq autocrypt encode-sender --email juliet@example.org juliet.pgp

Encodes a certificate while indicating the willingness to encrypt
