I think you may have misunderstood the query.

I use suffixed e-mail addresses - I introduced them to help me sort mail
as well as spot the leaky organisations. That part is absolutely
working.

However, do I need to add these addresses as uids to my key if I wish to
sign or encrypt mail where I am using them as From: addresses?

Is a "catch all suffixes" uid possible if that is the case? If so, how do
I specify it? It is nothing, as far as I can see, to do with my mail
programs (either of them). It is more to do with key administration.

If not, presumably I simply sign/decrypt using my existing key?
