You can tell a key that it is responsible for several addresses. But if you tell your key it is responsible for one address, use a different address for sending (without telling the key that it is responsible for this address, too) and want everyone to sign emails to you with an key that isn't for the address you sent mails from - that tends to be unsupported by all mail programs, even by the ones of the others that send the replies.
