Simply select the signature part (application/pgp-signature) of the message in the mime icons list on the right of the message text. This will then raise the 'key import' dialogue. Click the 'Yes' button and the key will be searched for and retrieved from the default keyserver, as configured in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf * inline-signed Create an Action (/Configuration/Actions) that has the following command, changing the keyserver to suit your tastes: <code>ID=`gpg --verify %p 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3 |grep "key ID"|tr -d "[:space:]"|tail -c8`;echo "==== Fetching $ID ===="; gpg --no-tty --keyserver wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net --recv-keys $ID</code> Then, with the message selected and opened, run that Action (/Tools/Actions/...).

* Mime-signed
This is the easiest one. Simply select the signature part (application/pgp-signature) of the message in the mime icons list on the right of the message text. This will then raise the ‘key import’ dialogue. Click the ‘Yes’ button and the key will be searched for and retrieved from the default keyserver, as configured in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

* inline-signed
Create an Action (/Configuration/Actions) that has the following command, changing the keyserver to suit your tastes:
ID=`gpg --verify %p 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3 |grep "key ID"|tr -d "[:space:]"|tail -c8`;echo "==== Fetching $ID ===="; gpg --no-tty --keyserver wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net --recv-keys $ID

Then, with the message selected and opened, run that Action (/Tools/Actions/…).

HTH,
Paul
