gpg simply picks the first one. However this is sometimes not the key
you want. All other MUAs preset a list of available and matching
keys. Only EGP does not. Thus I wonder whether it is really
justified to add such a feature to gpg. The next step would be to
keep a database of keys recently used in communication and to assign
them some trust. I think that is better placed in a MUA.
Salam-Shalom,
Werner
