Hi,

Kindly trim your messages before you post them to the list.

What you describe refers to e-mails that have been signed by the sender,
not to all e-mails posted to the list.

Enigmail is trying to find and download from the keyserver selected in
OpenPGP Preferences, the public key that is required to verify the
signature.

Please go to OpenPGP>Preferences, make sure that the 'Display expert
settings' square is marked.

Then go to the 'Keyserver' tag, and check what you have there, what
keyserver or keyservers have been selected.

You can select to use different keyservers, in the form described by
'Example:' in the same window.

Just for example, here are some keyservers that are available (there are
many others):
minsky.surfnet.nl, subkeys.pgp.net, keyserver.linux.it,
ldap://certserver.pgp.com, pgp.mit.edu,
