I apologize for not being too quick in grasping the
advice  you just gave - being very new to this stuff -
so please be patient with me...

The only pgp references to a specific key value that I
currently have in my .muttrc (which works perfectly
with the current one-key setup) are as follows:

set pgp_sign_as=0x31577172
set pgp --encrypt-to=0x31577172

What would seem elegant to me is to replace those key
values with a $VARIABLE that can be changed on the fly
by changing a single value in the macro sequences I
use to change return address, hostname, realname, Bcc
field, etc. for each email address I have.

As I said, I do not know how to specifically go about
it in my .muttrc... Would you give me an example of
exactly what code to put in the place of the current
key value (0x31577172) and in the macro sequence
(set="what_do_I_put_here?") to make it work?

You lost me there... how that works goes beyond what I
am able to grasp at this time...
