I added PGP/MIME crypto to several MUA and as far as I can remember I
always used the approach to listy all keys and then select the bext
matching one.  Mutt used this even before gpg; in recent code bases grep
for crypt_getkeybyaddr.  I have not looked at the enigmail code but I
recall that the first PGP/MIME implementation for Mozilla (~2000) worked
as I described.  Unfortunately they refused this code.
