Actually, I was noticing that WinPT was not showing keys that Enigmail
-- and GnuPG -- knew about.  If I tried importing the key through the
WinPT interface I was told that "nothing has changed".

Turns out these were keys I'd just seen in my current online session,
and which Enigmail had added to my keyring, but WinPT wasn't updating
its keylist.
