I use mutt, and it invokes gpg which tries to grab keys it doesn't already have with the same symptom... up to about 60 seconds of waiting. What I don't know is what's happening during that wait. Is it a matter of gpg not being able to contact the servers or do the servers take that long to run the query. It seems to run in waves too. There'll be a days where everything is fine and even looking up new keys takes only a few seconds and then other days every new key will time out. I get a little to quick on the ctrl-c sometimes as a result... A
