Hi:

I am using kmail 1.9.1 under KDE 3.5.1 on Freebsd 6.1 with
gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.2.2

When I receive a gpg signed message for which I don't have the key on my
keyring, kmail flags it as "No public key available" When I manually
check for the key on pgp.mit.edu, I find it, and if I manually import
that key into my keyring, kmail is happy.

Under Crypto Backends ----> OpenPGP -----> Configure -----> OpenPGP

I have entered hkp://pgp.mit.edu I have also tried x-hkp://pgp.mit.edu
and several other public hkp servers.

Shouldn't kmail fetch the public key? Am I just using bad public servers?
Is there a bug in my kmail?

FWIW, I achieve this with the following line in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf:
keyserver hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net

And you could add the following line to gpg.conf (all in one line):

keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve include-disabled include-revoked
honor-keyserver-url
