What I'm really after is away to simplify and nearly automate the use
of pgp encryption for emails within our organization. Already we have

Windows users) access our common LDAP service for our organizational
contacts, so it would be convenient to have everyone's public key
hosted there also, and automatically used to encrypt mail to them.
