Hi Nick,
On 11 October 2000 at 20:23:26 GMT -0700 (which was 04:23 where I
live) Nick Andriash wrote and made these points on the subject

This makes sense, because I have a default key *and* an RSA key which
I don't use (plus a disabled DH/DSS key which was once in use).

I don't think it's a bug - I think it is how it is supposed to work.

If you have one key and only one key for each address specified, what
is the purpose in offering a further choice of encryption keys? Why
would you want it to do that if the message has one recipient with a
single known key for that target address and one sender with a single
know key for that sender's address? Under what circumstances would
that cause a problem?
You can force the issue by generating a secondary key for your own
address and not publishing it. That will ensure that the dialog box
always appears (as it does here). *I* wish it wouldn't sometimes <g>!
