Wish: group support for Kmail and gnupg

[Bernhard Reiter]

Hi Werner, Hi Marc,
I like to bring up the support for groups (aka aliases of gnupg recipients)
for KMail. (There probably is an issue for this as well, but I am currently 
offline.)

My thoughts:
Currently gnupg has the --group feature, I believe that keeping recipient
alises on the gnupg level is good, as this is the place where recipients
are checked anyway.

The alternative: Associate several keys with one email adress oder identifier 
on client level. This seems more cumbersome to me. 

To improve the current situation is would be a good next step to have
KMail make it possible to select a gnupg group from the interface when
it is looking for a key for an email address.
For this gnupg must somehow provide the list of groups on request.
Werner: Do we have such a method in gpgme already?

On KMail side it would involve adding code to retrieve this list
and add it to the selection dialog.

Bernhard
