You can set your own key as default recipient in .gnupg/gpg.conf. That will 
take care of your own key.

You could also assume that the sender would want the reply encrypted using 
that key, you may be able to retrieve that from elsewhere in the application. 
After all, you are reencrypting the file to someone and your application 
needs to know who is the recipient - or are you trying to obtain *that* 
information from gpgme as well?

More information needed really.

Is the file being encrypted to more than 2 keys? You and the sender?

What are you using to write your application? Could you use gpg directly 
instead of via gpgme and use the full gpg command line / API? It sounds like 
some form of scripted application - is it Perl, PHP, bash or what?

I'm not sure gpgme can do that for you, but gpg certainly can. If you are in a 
bash environment, you could use pattern matching etc. to detect the other 
keys. It all depends on what and how you are doing with the application.
