I observed this a bit further and found, that when the primary UID is
set to an e-mail address, all other UIDs with addresses are recognized.
When the primary UID is free form, only the first following e-mail
address is accepted, and for the other ones I get

,----- [ OpenPGP Error ]
| gpg: no default secret key: secret key not available
| gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: secret key not available

I can use GPGshell for inline signing then, but there is no way to
PGP/MIME sign.
