Hi everyone,

I just switched from PGP to GnuPG.  I now use Mozilla with Enigmail. 
There is only one problem.  How do you download public keys from a 
keyserver with GnuPG/Enigmail ??

I tried several times and with different keyservers, but it just doesn't 
work...  .

This is what the error window says: (with a http server)
> enigmail> c:\tools\gnupg\gpg.exe --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2
> --keyserver http ://pki.surfnet.nl/ --recv-keys 0x9B15A06C gpg: NOTE:
> old default options file `C:/Mijn documenten/PGP\options' ignored
> gpg: system error while calling external program: No such file or
> directory gpg: WARNING: unable to remove tempfile (out)
> `C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\gpg-8BB970\tempou t.txt': No such file or directory
> gpg: no handler for keyserver scheme "http" 

And this happens with a LDAP server
> enigmail> c:\tools\gnupg\gpg.exe --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 --keyserver
> ldap ://pgp.surfnet.nl --recv-keys 0x9B15A06C gpgkeys: internal LDAP
> bind error: Server buiten bedrijf gpg: NOTE: old default options file
> `C:/Mijn documenten/PGP\options' ignored gpg: no valid OpenPGP data
> found. gpg: Total number processed: 0

What am I doing wrong? Am I using the wrong keyserver?

Thanks in advance...
