to send encrypted email to many people you need each recipient's cert (and you also want to make sure they are not revoked at the time they receive the message, which

Why does the sender need to make sure that the encryption certificate of the receiver is not revoked at the time the message is received? IMHO this is irrelevant. (Otherwise one would not be able to read very old messages, etc...)
