I don't know about you, but I'd like to have a final confirmation of
whose key I'm encrypting with before I send a message.  For my close
friends, I have a send-hook set up (to encrypt) and that searches for
their key(s), but never prompts me.  All of the others will prompt, and
I think this is usually because the key(s) have more than one UID
associated with them.  I'm not sure how selecting a different UID on the
same key would make a difference, though...
