My following of this thread so far indicates to Me that the 'Problem'
lies in the use of a News Group Server.  Because of the code within
Thunderbird/SeaMonkey making them News Group readers as well as MUA's
Enigmail will continue to block Your attempts to encrypt to what it
perceives as a Public Forum.

Use of a Group with Group Encryption using either a single Group Key or
encrypting to each individual Members Key is quite feasible.  Robert is
correct that I participate in this very activity several times a day.
Robert mentioned that PGPNET utilizes Yahoo Groups but the capability is
also workable using Google Groups.  Yahoo Groups offers a more
'attractive' interface but Google Groups offers some more esoteric
flexibility.  [IMAP, etc.,]

Should You choose to follow this route it will take roughly 20 minutes
of effort on the part of a Group Owner and about 5 minutes on the part
of each individual Member.

Please Note that Yahoo Groups has just 'Upgraded' Groups in the way in
which attachments are handled.  How they are handled is configured by
the specific Group.  Want them passed along?  Archived on the Group
site?  Your choice.
