That's a tricky one that has been brought up before.  There's no silver
bullet answer (yet).

Approach one is to abandon the mailing list and send directly to everyone;
it's easy and works out of the box but now everyone must have a "list"
alias in his personal address book.  

Approach two is to encrypt to the maillist software's key and then let it
decrypt what it gets and reencrypt for each message that it sends out;
that's time-consuming and pretty expensive for more than a few people,
which can be handled with a personal alias easily enough, and I don't
know that it's been written.  

Approach three is to share around the list *both* halves of a list key
so that everyone can encrypt to it (especially if its addr info matches
the actual list address) and can also decrypt what is sent to it; it
also works out of the box and is probably simplest though it's not as
secure as a list server that sits in the middle (if you want to prevent
a former colleague from reading future traffic you have to share around
a new key pair).


% comprise the list). What is this "encrypt-to"? I didn't find it
% neither in the man page or the manuals.

Hmmm...

Well, hully gee, you're right (mostly).  It still works, but it's no
longer listed in `gpg --help` (but it is in the man page).  I wonder
why...  Anyway, not only is it there (since 0.9.3) but there are also
(since 0.9.9) the default-recipient and default-recipient-self options,
which *are* in the help output.


Sorry I can't help you more with your Konsole problem.  Good luck!

:-D
