Add to the ~/.gnupg/options file:

#
# Use the given key server to search unknown keys
#
keyserver your.preferred.server.pgp.net

Sorry for the multiple X-Headers in my mails. Something went wrong,
while I wrote this mail. Hope, I found the error.
Thanks to Sotiris. ;)

Hmmm.. I already did. The changes don't take any effect.
Doesn't matter, which keyserver I told gpg to use, it always wants to
use the one above. (Written exactly this way)

I remember this option was working without problems, when I installed
gpg. Now it won't and I have no idea why?
I've been looking for further information, but the bit I found
is the html-manual. And this is not too much. ;)

It would help me much if anybody has a link, page or whatever for me.

thx so far.

You have to give the --keyserver option to enable keyserver access.
By default there is no keyserver access enabled and no hardcoded
name. Use strace to find out which files gpg tries to read. Is there
a wrapper which uses --options to read another file? Strange. I
wouldn't trust such a system.

Can't believe this options works only on con? It is enabled in the
configuration file.

I already enabled this option.
BTW: is it important on which position in the options file each
command/option is?

Sorry. I would if I could. ;)
I don't know how I should use strace out of mutt? -
Couldn't find the option in the man for strace.

Sorry, but I do not understand this.
I guess you mean with "wrapper" my MUA mutt? AFAIR starts mutt gpg
when I receive a mail with pgp/gpg signature and gpg reads its options.
(?)

If so, I don't have any choice - except disabling the gpg/pgp features in mutt
completely. But this would be very uncomfortable. ;)

How exactly?

AFAIK no.

How about 'strace -f -o /tmp/mutt.strace mutt'? But gpg doesn't have to be
set suid.
BTW: nice feature. :)
