 To bootstrap this one might use the gmail plus trick.  Where the string to
the
right of the + is not used by gmail it is used for filters and other
recipient filtering.
Something like:

    user.name+MyYourPubKeySig at gmail.com

If the user.name+YourPubKeySig&MyPubKeySig at anymail-mail.com could be made
to work because delivery and more could be established in the To:,Cc:,Bcc
lines
