.SH NAME
sq autocrypt encode\-sender \- Encode a certificate into an Autocrypt header
.SH SYNOPSIS
.br
\fBsq autocrypt encode\-sender\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR] \fIFILE\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
Encode a certificate into an Autocrypt header.
.PP
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).
.PP
The converse operation is `sq autocrypt decode`.
