    There's no explicit option for this, AFAIK. You can choose to "always
    encrypt", which I guess will simply fail if you don't have the
    appropriate keys.

    Alternatively, you could write a short script which reads the output of
    "gpg --list-keys" and writes out part of your ~/.muttrc with hooks to
    'always encrypt' for those users.

    I don't think there's any reliable way to deal with the situation where
    a message sent is to multiple recipients, some of whom you have keys for
    and some of whom you do not, though.

    How does KMail's logic work there? I assume it's more than simply
    "always encrypt"?

    Dave.
