If I goto the command line and use the -r command line option gpg picks up the group ok, however gpgmail is just scanning the keyfile and not finding a key for the group, ie the email address I think the group line is a feature that is not widely used, if it is used elsewhere indeed.

I may try creating a simple key for the group and see if gpg will encrypt to the group line as well or instead of the created key.
