You are rather obviously right about this.  

An easy way to fix this problem would be to pass some "hints" to
gpgm and the PGP public key ring parser, respectively.

For an address, these hints would consist of the mailbox part of the
address, and of the individual words of the personal name.  For a
random string, we'd take individual words, once again.

Werner, could you implement a command line interface which permits
for such "hints" with gpgm?
