David,

With a little tweak, I got it working in Mozilla + Enigmail! The problem 
of saying:

	group name at hotmail.com = name at isp.com

is that name at hotmail.com will be the group name but not the email 
address. So when Enigmail tries to search this as an email address, 
it'll do a -r <name at hotmail.com>, which doens't work. So the obvious 
solution would be putting this in gpg.conf:

	group <name at hotmail.com> = name at isp.com

Thanks David!
