I'm not entirely sure I understand the question.  If you're sending
them an email you want signed, you'd sign it with (one of) your
key(s).  If you're encrypting it, you encrypt it with *their* keys.

You can have multiple keys which you use for different purposes and
choose at time of signing/encrypting which to use.
