I'm cleaning up and looking into committing the multiple crypt hook
patch, but need some feedback from people who use it.

The current behavior (without that patch) is to prompt whether to use
the crypt-hook value if one is found.  If the user answers "no" then
Mutt will use the original address for key selection instead.  Since
there can be at most one crypt-hook, this makes sense.

With this patch, it's less clear what the correct behavior should be
if the user user says "no".  The current patch will use the original
address and perform key selection with it, but doing this multiple times
doesn't seem right.

I'm a heavy user of this patch. My use case is fairly simple: either it should encrypt to all of the keys that are listed in the crypt-hook, or to a subset of them or the message shouldn't be sent at all.

I have specificaly selected and configured a number of key ID's for a mailinglist. This is a deliberate action, and if a key is not available there is no need to select an alternative. Keys are always available ay my keyring. If they are not, something has gone wrong. One of the reasons the key selection still fails is when a key is available, but unusable (e.g. the key has expired). In that case I would like to have the option to either send the message encrypted to the remaining keys (the other crypt-hooks), or to cancel the sending of the message.
Anyway, that is me. :)
