Ok.

You're talking of the command line, don't you?

Last time I used this, I was on 10.4.x, where it worked. Seems TB 2.x
(together with enigmail) has some slight issues with 10.5. We weren't
able to fix these, as they're mostly, if not all, TB 2.x things. The
probability of having these fixed is nearly zero, as the main work goes
into TB 3 which I anticipate this summer.

This is what I meant.

Would you mind installing the nightly version of enigmail (called 0.96a)
and see if key retrieval works. "Nightly" is an ambiguous label, as this
enigmail version is built on a daily basis, however the code behind is
very stable. Some issues since 0.95.7 have been fixed. I'm using it and
it's very reliable.

You can get it on the nightlies page:

Be sure to download the file for TB2:
