There are exceptions to the rule (as always :) but in most cases this is
true. An exception is when the sender manually selected a certificate
for a recipient with a non-matching email address. This can happen in
practice when a recipient has multiple aliases (and is using a gateway).

This option would imply that a message need to be decrypted multiple
times, once for each recipient, so it may impact the speed a bit.

I will put this option on the development agenda.
