Instead of doing this, I am hoping/planning on having a system where
settings can be based on matching regexes to header lines.  E.g.,
something like:

- ----
^From: bo...@bo...
signing-key = foo

^To: buddies.*
encrypt-to-recipients = 1
- -----

...but going that route may be going overboard to solve such the simple
problem of determing the signing-key.  Your type of system by simply
trying to get a key from From: might be a simpler approach (although not
as extensible, or useful, if the From: could match multiple signing keys).
