Sorry, I did not mean setting this via the UI.
The option is usually set once and does not change very often. Even then, this is usually for advanced users who should be comfortable with this kind of configuration options.

However, this is currently not supported at all by GpgOL. If the group option is set for a known key, then it is only encrypted to that known key, ignoring the group option.

If it is set for an unknown key, GpgOL does not recognise the address and refuses to encrypt.

Thanks, I’ll look into that.
