signed mail, and I don't have the public key..

[zander@microweb.nl]

I have been integrating gpg in my unix environment, using elm this meant 
installing the gpgpgp wrapper.

If I open an email which is signed, gpg tries to get the public key from the 
keyserver (I used www.keyserver.net). This action failed, probably because the
public key was not there.

After this, elm showed the output of gpg, this seemed to be an empty email! 
with a message that the signature could not be found.. 

This leaves me with the problem that I can not read signed messages, when I
don't have the public key. As I find this frustrating I wondered if anyone
has found a way to get past this.


Thanx
