<p>not sure I completely understand your use case, but it sounds
like you simply want to write an encrypted mail to a friend. If
that friend has a key but no mail address associated, there is no
way at all, to send him an encrypted mail.</p>
<p>He'd have to associate at least one mail address for mail
encryption to work. Then upload his edited key to the key
servers.</p>
<p>Does this answer your question?</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

<p>Steve is right, this was not possible with GPGMail until just
recently.<br>
There is a way now though, which was just added to the nightly
build.</p>
<p>Please install the GPGMail nightly from <a href=
"http://nightly.gpgtools.org">http://nightly.gpgtools.org</a>.</p>
<p>After that open Terminal.app and type the following. Press enter
when done:</p>
<p>defaults write org.gpgtools.common PublicKeyUserMap -dict-add
email fingerprint</p>
<p>Replace email with your friend's email which is not included in
the public key and the fingerprint with your friend's key's
fingerprint.</p>
<p>Hope that helps</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/169734522012-07-22T16:51:39Z2012-07-22T16:51:39ZHow to use a Key without email address in it?<div><p>No further user feedback. Closing.</p>
<p>@Simon: Should your problem persist, feel free to re-open this
discussion any time. I hope Luke's explanation was helpful in
solving this problem.</p>
