[tails]PGP Subkey Issues

Hi all, i am trying to message someone who uses subkeys. I am using tails to handle my encryption. I'm very familiar with the standard process of encrypt/decrypt, but not with subkeys.

they're not able to read my message as it isn't encrypting to the subkey, but their main key.

Does anyone know how to select the subkey when encrypting?

You will probably have to use the command line to force gpg to use a specific subkey. Example:

gpg -a -r subkeyid! -e mesg

When using gpg an exclamation mark (!) may be appended to force using the specified primary or secondary key and not to try and calculate which primary or secondary key to use.

Just curious was the pgp version something like bcpg?
