Details
Sometimes users wish to send an encrypted OpenPGP email using public-key encryption, using a key that doesn't match the email recipient. (Either the public key doesn't contain an email address at all, or the email addresses listed in the key are different.)
We have already implemented an advanced mechanism to support this, but it requires managing an external configuration file (bug 1731109).
It could be useful to allow the user to interactively define overrides.
When attempting to send an encrypted email, and a matching key cannot be automatically found, our user interface could offer "use a key that doesn't contain this email address". The user could be presented with the list of all keys that we have available, the user could pick one, and we'd remember this permanently, and always use the chosen key, whenever sending an encrypted email to the same email address.
We'd also require user interface to manage the list of defined aliases.

Seems to me like quite an edge case. Maybe it's problems in the key distribution atm that causes the problem?
