Members receive the message, and thanks to the crypto-fairies, they see
it as signed by the sender. I like to think of this as a special-case of
homomorphic encryption, but only so I can sound like I know what I'm
talking about.

I don't see any way that this could work using PGP, but I confess I don't know enough about S/MIME to know if it could be done using it or not.
