No, Evolution is a mail client, this is a PGP/GPG issue.  It's debatable
whether it's an issue with the application or the user.  Their address
is how most mail clients will find the right key to encrypt a message
against.  A user should set up their public key with the addresses it'll
be used with.  If they can't get that right, they shouldn't fob the
problem off onto someone else to resolve.

On my keyring there's plenty of keys that have several addresses in
them.  If I try to post to any address that's listed, the mail client
will pick the right key.  If it didn't work that way, I'd have to search
through a list of keys trying to find an appropriate one, by hand.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
