Take a look at the gpg2 documentation - the manual page says and even has
an explicit example of using both the -s and the -e options:

       gpg -se -r Bob file
              sign and encrypt for user Bob

Of course, you can point to a more specific recipient's key by giving either
an e-mail address or, better yet, a key ID instead of "Bob" to the -r option;
and you can specify which key to sign with using the -k option if you have
more than one secret key on the GnuPG installation where you're running this.

Hope this helps.

G'luck,
Peter

If you think this sentence is confusing, then change one pig.
