OK. Since I didn't know gpgkeys_hkp, I didn't understand. But 
I think now I understand completely.

You configured gpg.conf like:
	keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve
So, GnuPG automatically fetches a public key when necessary.

I did not hit upon an elegant solution. As a workround, put
the following code to your .mew.el. Type M-x mew-toggle-gpg-key-fetch
toggles the auto fetch feature.

(defconst mew-prog-pgpv-arg2
  '(("+batchmode=on" "+language=en")
    ("+batchmode=on" "+language=en" "+force=on")
    ("+batchmode=on" "+language=en")
    ("--verify" "--batch")))

(defconst mew-prog-pgpv-arg2
  '(("+batchmode=on" "+language=en")
    ("+batchmode=on" "+language=en" "+force=on")
    ("+batchmode=on" "+language=en")
    ("--verify" "--batch" "--keyserver-options"))) ;; override auto-key-retrieve

(defun mew-toggle-gpg-key-fetch ()
  (interactive)
  (if (equal mew-prog-pgpv-arg mew-prog-pgpv-arg2)
      (setq mew-prog-pgpv-arg mew-prog-pgpv-arg3)
    (setq mew-prog-pgpv-arg mew-prog-pgpv-arg2)))
