Alternate Keyring
=================

   By default, Mailcrypt will use the same public keyring that PGP would
use if executed from the shell.

   You can cause Mailcrypt to use a specific public keyring by setting
the variable `mc-pgp-alternate-keyring'.  If this variable is set,
Mailcrypt will use that keyring for all functions which would otherwise
have used the default.  This includes adding keys, extracting keys,
verifying signatures, and encrypting messages.

   This feature might be useful if you maintain multiple keyrings; you
can switch between them by setting this variable.  Depending on your
tastes, you might want to configure fetching from a keyring as well
(Note: Keyring Fetch).
