Feature Request: MS Exchange Server IDs

[Crosland, Jerel]

Apparently not. Whenever I am sending an email using Outlook to another user within my local network/domain I must always manually select which key to encrypt to. It is not finding the external email address but only the internal, Exchange version of the ID, which is that long form I have listed.

GPGol does not need to be configured for this and can find any user
ID.  The --allow-freeform-uid option is used when creating the key or
when adding the new user ID to the key.
