Help users deal with UIDs with multiple keys

When you have multiple private keys for a single email address, there is no way to select which key is used.

Reproduction steps:

1. Import multiple private/public keys for a single email address
2. Attempt to sign/encrypt a message, selecting this email address as the from field.

What do you see?
The message is signed/encrypted. The first private key listed on the options page is used.

What do you expect instead?
To be able to select which key does the signing. It would also be great to be able to set the default key after importing them.

Sorry for the delayed response. I'm doing some refactoring in the prompt UI. This can certainly be solved in the process.

cleaning up old bugs, please reopen if you would still like to see this fixed

This seems like something which should definitely still be fixed. If you have multiple keys for an email address, you should be able to pick the right one — or at least somehow resolve that conflict with a user decision.
