As I wrote to the pgpenvelope-users list, a good way to approach this
would be to just write a wrapper for GnuPG, which looks at all the
arguments which take key-indidcators as arguments, and then try to match
any of these key-indicators with a lookup table (addressbook).

E.g., given the following table:

cia-operatives: bob@bob.com abc@abc.com
mom: judy@judy.com
mykey: 0xABCD1234
myotherkey: 0x1234ABCD

...and a wrapper program rgpg:

rgpg --default-key myotherkey --sign --encrypt -r cia-operatives -r mom

...it would expand this to and exec:

gpg --default-key 0x1234ABCD --sign --encrypt -r bob@bob.com \
    -r abc@abc.com -r judy@judy.com

This wrapper would be _very_ simple to write, and I'll probably do it real
soon.
