"Could not retrieve public key for [email protected]"


Curious as to why people sign with PGP and then don't submit their  
keys to public servers... what's the point of default signing every  
email you send?

Means that my email client goes to sleep for about a minute while it  
tries to find and match a public key before it times out and gives up.

I get that PGP is useful... I don't get how it is useful signing every  
email including ones going to thousands of list recipients, each of  
whom then waste time trying to retrieve a public key.
