Hmmm. That's a tough one. At the moment, I don't think you can from
within mutt (aside from, obviously, manually altering your gpg call
configuration).

Which dialog window? The only one I can think of would be mutt's "this
recipient doesn't have a key, why don't you pick one?" dialog, and
that of course only lets you pick a single key because it's only
asking you about a single recipient. If you have multiple recipients
without keys, it will show you that dialog multiple times.

It is absolutely possible in general to encrypt emails with more than
one key, specifically in the way you state: have multiple recipients.
So, if instead of sending to the list address you simply had all the
subscribers in your To: field (or even Bcc: field), then mutt would
encrypt the message to all of them. But you're right, mutt doesn't
have a convenient way to add arbitrary keys to a single-message
sending. Heck, there's not a place on the compose screen to even list
all the keys that are being used. This is definitely a feature
request.
As an irritating workaround, you can create a "mailing list" gpg key
that everyone on the list has the secret key for.
