Synopsis: Can't figure out how to associate a PGP key with a contact
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
I want to send email to someone at an email address that is not listed
in their public key.  So GPG can't guess the key ID to use. I can't
figure out how to tell Evolution which key to use.

The natural place for it would be to have a keyid field in the contact
information database; then sending email would simply look it up there.


One could view this as a security hole; if I send you a file containing
my public key and you simply import it, you might accept a key that
lists your friend's email address but belongs to me.  Then GPG might
encrypt the email to me rather than your friend with no notification and
no choice on your part.  keyids are better.  If Evolution learns to
recognize keys sent in email, this could even be automated. 

Thanks,
Andrew
