Hmm, double spacing on the inserted part?

 AA> Does that mean that Tommi signed my key?

Looks like it.

 AA> If so, I should probably have a copy of Tommi's public key submission.

I think you already do, because otherwise it wouldn't have shown Tommi's name
and email adres, but something like [unknown], I think.

 AA> Is this simply accomplished with a refresh from a server?

 AA> I tried:

 C:\>> gpg --refresh-keys --keyserver pgp.key-server.io
 AA> gpg: refreshing 12 keys from hkp://pgp.key-server.io
 AA> gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No keyserver available

Try:

# gpg --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --keyserver-options
no-honor-keyserver-url --refresh-keys koivula

Or replace the --refresh-keys with --recv-keys, to get/update all Tommi's keys
from the key server...

 AA> But.. I *can* visit the server and search via the web interface, no

Maybe it doesn't use the hkp: but http: protocol?

 AA> What servers is everybody else using that prove to be more reliable?

I don't use them very often, so I wouldn't know about reliability...

 AA> If, I can't use the refresh function, do I just delete my local copies

You don't have to delete them first, to import an updated version...

Bye, Wilfred.
