Please keep in mind that using a user ID is just to help the user in the
most common case.  Any proper mail tool won't accept such a solution but
either presenr the user a list of matching keys and let him select a key
or auto select the key based on such information.

If possible you should use the fingerprint to select a key.

Thus I consider this a wish for a future version.  Feel free to add such
a request to the bug tracker.
