CRBP...interesting error...that's usually due to some other socket
error, but I suppose it could happen.
anyhooo....I don't think it's Mutt per se trying to contact the
keyserver...I think it's GnuPG itself doing that when called by Mutt.
The keyserver seemed to be preferred by users on mutt-users is
wwwkeys.us.pgp.net (perhaps with "us" replaced by "eu"...I believe I
read somewhere that they replicate data). Anyone else care to take a
crack at this one? Are there more of these, with other two letter
country codes ("eu" I'm guessing is for "Europe")? And do they
replicate/transfer data?
