As promised, I did some digging... Thunderbird + Enigmail _should_ be
able to encrypt messages using several public keys based on the target
address (e.g. openvpn-secur...@lists.sourceforge.net):

I currently only have David's public PGP/GnuPG key - if somebody else
cares to share his key, we could test if this works in practice.
