This bug has only been reported 500 times, and it's not even a bug in
Evolution (unless you think evolution not passing --always-trust to gpg
is a bug).

The problem is that if gpg doesn't have a key for the other recipient
and/or doesn't trust the recipients key, it will simply ignore it and
not tell evolution that it ignored it and thus evolution will think that
it encrypted to all recipients when it really didn't.

As a work-around for the problem, you can edit your ~/.gnupg/options
file and specify that it should "always trust" keys when encrypting to
them. Since so many people have complained about this and have pointed
out that even Mutt passes --always-trust to gpg, I've made Evolution
also always pass --always-trust to gpg in the development branch.
