I seem to have run into a problem with --honor-keyserver-url

1st this is the pref on my key
     (1). Troy Weinzetl (P.S.K.)
     Cipher: AES256, AES192, AES, BLOWFISH, CAST5, 3DES, TWOFISH
     Digest: SHA256, SHA224, SHA512, SHA384, RIPEMD160, SHA1
     Compression: BZIP2, ZLIB, ZIP, Uncompressed
     Features: MDC, Keyserver no-modify
     Preferred keyserver:
http://www.babylonfarms.com/secure/0xF8180E9E_pub.asc

this setup worked well under gpgshell in windows and to be honest I
never found the need to use Enigmail's key management, that all changed
when I switched to linux (Mepis).
Using Kgpg I found the honor-url didn't work there and tried Enigmail's
key management no luck there either, however command line works and the
output as follows.

babylon at babylon-P4:~$ gpg --refresh-key 0xF8180E9E

where as if i do the same for another key
babylon at babylon-P4:~$ gpg --refresh-key 1086CBD780B42B0F

However Enigmail does not.

- --keyserve r pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 0x75AA9F9CF8180E9E

- From my understanding, the example from the gpg CL is how
- --Honor-keyserver-url is supposed to work and how it worked with
gpgshell. under windows.

Using
Thunderbird 2.0.0.6
Enigmail 0.95.0
Mepis 7.0
gpg both 1.4.6 & the most current SVN-release


Thanks in advance
Troy
