If you know you have keys for all the recipients of the sales@ list, you 
can create a group in your gpg.conf file which contains the key Ids. You 
may have to experiment with the group "name" to get the interface 
between evolution and gnupg to recognize the group name as an e-mail 
address. For example:

group sales at company.ny = key1 key2 ...
group <sales at company.ny> = key1 key2 ...

etc.

hope this helps,
