[imp] IMP, PGP, and keyservers

[Jeff Tucker]

Hello,

Does the current CVS of IMP-HEAD work with PGP keyservers?

I emailed myself a signed message from another application. IMP says that 
the signature is BAD. Using tcpdump, I can see that it is connecting to the 
keyserver and appears to be requesting the correct key as the Keyid in the 
URL is correct. IMP does not say that the key wasn't found. It says that 
the signature is bad. I've tried using www.keyserver.net as well as 
wwwkeys.pgp.net.

If I connect to that same keyserver myself, get the key, and add it to my 
keyring the same message will verify as GOOD.

Second, it appears that IMP does not attempt at all to connect to a 
keyserver if it opens a PGP signed message with inline PGP (not MIME) and 
the option to scan message bodies for PGP info is turned on. In this case, 
IMP tells me that no key was found. Tcpdump shows that IMP never tried to 
connect to the keyserver.

Thanks
Jeff
