 Replying to [comment:2 rransom]:
 > It was a short list of a few individuals' e-mail addresses, not a
 mailing list.  The list of recipients should not be published.

 Great! Then I propose this: no mailing lists. The only thing convenient
 about mailing lists is the automatic subscription management, and that is
 not a feature in our case since we don't really want any email/gmail/yahoo
 address to be able to sign up for this. Instead, I propose we whitelist
 (<email_address>, <keyid>) pairs, and we encrypt the automatic "mailing
 list" bridges that are sent out to those keyids. Does this seem sane? I
 would like to decrease the amount of plaintext emails with bridge
 addresses in them which are being bounced around.
