    Which is bad.  For example:

Steve Lamb <grey@dmiyu.org>
vs.
Steve Lamb/RSA <grey@dmiyu.org>

    AFAIK, no.  I don't recall the PGP settings being per account.  And
PMMail2k does not use the UID at all, it uses the key's checksum(?) to
determine which key to use, which avoids the above problem.  IIRC you can only
set one key per install of PMMail, not per account.
