Yes.

You can ask the recipient to send it to you or you can get it from=20
a number of public key servers.=20
Have a look at http://www.openpgp.net/pgpsrv.html. Remember to make
sure you have the correct key.
Read the Manual in your favorite language at=20
http://www.gnupg.org/docs.html for the basic concepts.
The sections on exchanging keys and key management are relevant
in this context.

On your machine keys are stored in ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg or similar.
GnuPG should find the key ring. Pressing <enter> or ? (I forget which)=20
when mutt prompts you for a key ID should give you a list of available=20
keys.

HTH.
