Encode a certificate into an Autocrypt header

Synopsis

sq autocrypt encode-sender [Options] FILE

Description

Encode a certificate into an Autocrypt header.

A certificate can be encoded and included in a header of an email message.  This command encodes the certificate, adds the senders email address (which must match the one used in the `From` header), and the senders `prefer-encrypt` state (see the Autocrypt spec for more information).

The converse operation is `sq autocrypt decode`.
