First, R2) I use gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.1

R1) The action is option a). While reading my email either by pressing SPC or
'n'/'p' when i'm on a really slow link or behind a firewall that prevents me to
reach hkp://subkeys.pgp.net the whole emacs process hangs waiting for the
process gpgkeys_hkp to terminate. I have to kill gpgkeys_hkp to continue editing
other emacs buffers and/or continue reading my mail in mew.

This leads me to more profound problem: maybe it's an emacs limitation but IMO
all this I/O should be asynchronous so that the whole process doesn't hang. One
of these days I'll have to start using two emacs processes instead of one to
work around this...
