Little OT.
Isn't is better to use gpg option:
(~/.gnupg/gpg.conf)

keyserver x-hkp://pgp.mit.edu

And then:

gj at nalesnik:~/.gnupg$ gpg --search-key simon at rumble.net
gpg: searching for "simon at rumble.net" from HKP server pgp.mit.edu
Keys 1-5 of 5 for "simon at rumble.net"

You can add your new key to pubring :
gj at nalesnik:~/.gnupg$ gpg --send-key
Do you really want to send all your public keys to the keyserver? (y/N)

Just say YES :]

Why people are making hard what suppose to be easy, and is allready solved in 
simple way ??
You will ask me "so i have to download his key each time..." no, 
answer: use a right email client, one that will do this for You (kmail does 
the job).
<eot> 

Just my 2p.
