<Q> Why doesn't GnuPG support X.509 certificates?
GnuPG, first and foremost, is an implementation of the OpenPGP
standard (RFC 2440), which is a competing infrastructure, different
from X.509.
They are both public-key cryptosystems, but how the public keys are
actually handled is different.
That is only the case for GnuPG version 1.x. GnuPG 2.x fully
supports X.509 and S/MIME using the gpgsm tool.

@opindex try-all-secrets
Don't look at the key ID as stored in the message but try all secret
keys in turn to find the right decryption key. This option forces the
behaviour as used by anonymous recipients (created by using
@option{--throw-keyids}) and might come handy in case where an encrypted
message contains a bogus key ID.
@item --skip-hidden-recipients

@opindex skip-hidden-recipients
@opindex no-skip-hidden-recipients
During decryption skip all anonymous recipients. This option helps in
the case that people use the hidden recipients feature to hide there
own encrypt-to key from others. If oneself has many secret keys this
may lead to a major annoyance because all keys are tried in turn to
decrypt soemthing which was not really intended for it. The drawback
of this option is that it is currently not possible to decrypt a
message which includes real anonymous recipients.
