neat!  how?

i have a list of users i manually enter for encryption.  only two people
so far (how cool are liam and kathryn?) but there you go.

    send-hook user at host.tld         "set pgp_autoencrypt"

i suppose one way to do it would be to have a script that lists keys
and then builds up a file that's included in your .muttrc:

    #!/bin/sh
    if [ ! -f $HOME/.muttrc.gpgers \
	 -o $HOME/.gnupg/pubring.gpg -nt $HOME/.muttrc.gpgers ]; then
	gpg --list-keys \
	    | egrep '<.*@.*>' \
	    | sed 's/^.*<\(.*\)>.*$/send-hook "\1" "set pgp_autoencrypt"/' \
	    > $HOME/.muttrc.gpgers.tmp
	mv $HOME/.muttrc.gpgers.tmp $HOME/.muttrc.gpgers
    fi

and in ~/.muttrc just have:

    source ~/.muttrc.gpgers

one odd thing though - if liam or kathryn are in a list of recipients
i have to deselect encryption.
