Upon closer looking it does not seem like 'gpgme' supports this option

'-throw-keyids' option [0]. I haven't figured out how to set this
option for a gpg context though, perhaps it can only be set in the
config file.

fwiw, i don't think you want --throw-keyids, esp. in the e-mail context,
which is where GMime works best.  --throw-keyids aggressively removes
all key IDs, but most e-mails then wrap the encrypted blob inside a MIME
body that includes even more metadata than the key ID :)

Would not the same metadata be present with --hidden-recipient as well?
Just that some of the key IDs that are hidden with --throw-keyids will
still be possible to deduce from the e.g. the To, Cc and From fields. Is
Bcc leaked as well?

I agree that --hidden-recipient is the way to go here, and i'll go over
to the GnuPG mailing lists and agitate for its inclusion in gpgme over
there.

Thanks, `--hidden-recipient` is definitely the appropriate option here.
