Getting the key is the responsibility of the OpenPGP implementation (gpg or pgp). > Hi, > i think you didn't configured well you gnu gpg. you should let gpg > get public keys automatically.

According to the regulars on the gnupg list it is broken in, and always have been. Especially keys using more advanced features of the OpenPGP spec are mangled badly. Using subkeys.pgp.net is a much better idea. > # THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED FOR GETTING public keys automatically > keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve Just remember that this does not cause your keyring to be updated, for that you must setup something manually (updating it from time to time is a really good idea, since people might get new signatures on their keys or even revoke them). There is also a pgp_getkeys_command variable in mutt. With it you can get the From:-address of the mails you verify. This is useful to call a script that updates the keys you use more often than unused keys. /dossen
