I use hkp://subkeys.pgp.net as my default keyserver and do not seem to have such a problem (unless I open a new message offline, which has a new key that has not been imported yet from the keyserver). KGpg has a 'Refresh keys from server' selection in the menu that will do exactly that when you're on line, or bring back an error if a connection cannot be established (e.g. because you are off-line, the server does not accept connections, or the particular keys are not published on that server). Ditto if you run: $ gpg --refresh-keys HTH. -- Regards, Mick
