 Subject: Sending mail encrypted with additional keys

 Package: mutt
 Version: 1.3.25-2
 Severity: wishlist

 I'd like to send a mail to a list and encrypt it with five keys.  One
 of these is my own key, so that's already handled.  It would be nice
 if mutt would support this by specifying 'additional keys' in the PGP
 menu or something.

 As a proof, here's the reason behind this.

 I'm working on security for Debian and I have received a confidential
 mail about a root hole that could be easily exploited.  Rather than
 sending unencrypted mail I'd like to inform the maintainer of the
 affected package and copy that mail to our internal security list,
 hence need to encrypt it for all members.

 Currently there only seem to be dirty methods making this possible:

 1. Temporarily add more ``encrypt-to'' statements to .gnupg/options

 2. Modify ``pgp_encrypt_only_command'' and ``pgp_encrypt_only_command''
    temporarily from within Mutt.  It is already long...  is there a way
    to *edit* it rather than setting it to a new value?

 3. Using a specially crafted .muttrc.dsp for the security team.

 4. Bcc the mail to four unknown addresses and select the key of
    another member of the Security Team for each of them.  Who cares
    about bounces...

 However, I'd rather have a way to select additional GnuPG keys in Mutt
 in order to encrypt the message with them as well.

 Regards,

         Joey
