+@item --sender @var{mbox}
+@opindex sender
+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.

 @item --try-secret-key @var{name}
 @opindex try-secret-key
 For hidden recipients GPG needs to know the keys to use for trial
