+This option has two purposes. @var{mbox} must either be a complete
+user id with a proper mail address or just a mail address. When
+creating a signature this option tells gpg the user id of a key used
+to make a signature if the key was not directly specified by a user
+id. When verifying a signature the @var{mbox} is used to restrict the
+information printed by the TOFU code to matching user ids.
