Interesting.  This works for me.  Can you send signed mails?  Sounds
like Enigmail is not working properly.  For me I get a x'ed out penci=
l
on signed messages that have sigs I do not know.  I push the pencil a=
nd
then it begins to connect to the server that I chose, and DL the key.
Are you sure those people have their key in the keyserver you have
chosen to quary?  Sometimes I have to use a diff server because a use=
r
might be only in a specific one.  Do you get the pencil icon?
