The point is that mutt looks at the key ID and the validity
information to decide which key to use.

Note, BTW, that validity information is generally cached by PGP and
gnupg.  It's a shortcoming in gnupg (to put it friendly) that huge
amounts of validity information are calculated each time the program
is asked for it.

(BTW, I'm using a Pentium 100, there are 917 keys in my PGP public
key ring, and things work quite nicely with PGP 2.6.  And yes, the
web of trust does work for me.)
