bug#21274: 25.0.50; epa doesn't understand GPG's default-key option

[Richard Stallman]

Someone sent me gpg-encrypted mail using the throw-keyids option,
which I think means it doesn't say which person each key belongs to.
The result was I was asked for a passphrase for each key until
mine came up.

I'm told the recommend way to deal with receiving such mail
is to specify default-key in gpg.conf.  I have that setting,
so it looks like EPA doesn't recognize it.

That is the bug.
