I think that entire dialog is a bogus misfeature.  Unfortunately, I
appear to be in the minority.

IMO, it should be very simple: ask the user for a list of keyservers to
poll.  The distinction Enigmail draws between the lower and upper boxes
makes no sense to me.  Patrick has tried to explain it to me a couple of
times, but to no avail.  This may say more about my lack of
understanding than anything else, however.

I have opened a bug about this in Enigmail:
