This command tells mutt to connect to a key server and download the public
key for the sender. When using gpg you dont need that setting AISB because
gpg can do that job.

There is no good or bad server. From the gpg-manpage:
<---snip--->
Use --keyserver to lookup keys which are not yet in
your keyring. This is only done while verifying
messages with signatures. The option is also
required for the command --send-keys to specify
the keyserver to where the keys should be send.
All keyservers synchronize with each other - so
there is no need to send keys to more than one
server. Using the command "host -l pgp.net |
grep wwwkeys" gives you a list of keyservers.
Because there is load balancing using round-
robin DNS you may notice that you get different
key servers.
<---snap--->
As you see, all servers synchronize with each other. And it doesnt matter which
keyserver you choose, you get a random one each time.
