You could sign mail from other addresses, but it wouldn't be quite
right.  You don't have to generate a completely new key for each email
address, though.  You can add additional "User IDs" to your key, as you
can see I've done with mine.  Just run gpg --edit-key your_key_id and
then at the key editing prompt, enter "adduid" and follow the prompts.
