Hmm, I did mean 1.4.2 - so I'd better try again then, Doug. I tried adding
the keyserver options but it didn't do anything here. Maybe you need to have
the import export options set too, I tried them first, and then removed them
before adding the keyserver options, since I only need the latter. Anyway,
I'll set them all and try again.

Bob
