pedantic, but you mean the recipients public keys, no?
Eh, sorry, of course!

The main problem with OpenPGP on mail for me is that due to the unique key per recipient, if you add more than one recipient or cc, you have to encrypt the mail for each and every one of them. If you add some attachments it's pretty sure that you will hit the maximum allowed mail size of some mail server along the way.
Uh, no. It's called "session keys". The content is encrypted with a random number (the session key), and this random number is in turn encrypted with the recipients' private keys. As the content is usually compressed too before encryption, the result may even be a smaller e-mail than without...
