Do not put the recipient key IDs into encrypted messages. This helps
to hide the receivers of the message and is a limited countermeasure
against traffic analysis. On the receiving side, it may slow down the
decryption process because all available secret keys must be tried.
@option{--no-throw-keyids} disables this option. This option is essentially
the same as using @option{--hidden-recipient} for all recipients.
