Hi Clive,

1) Which keyserver are you attempting to use?

2) Are there any errors in Enigmail's console? From TB's main menu bar,
   OpenPGP --> Debugging OpenPGP --> View Console.  Scroll down to the bottom.

   You're looking for a line like:

   enigmail> /usr/bin/gpg --charset utf8 --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2
   --keyserver hkp://194.168.0.4 --send-keys 0x1D04AC4A608D2A10

   and any errors that may also be present. Copy and paste any errors as well as
   the command into a reply message

3) Is port 11371 being blocked by any sort of firewall?
   Does sending work on the command line?

   gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.gingerbear.net --send-key 0x57EB7BBC

   Can you receive keys:

   gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.gingerbear.net --recv-key 0x608D2a10

4) Are you able to send if you use port 80?

   gpg --keyserver http://keyserver.pramberger.at:80 --send-key 0x57EB7BBC

   (There's a list of other keyservers supporting traffic on port 80 (as well
   as IPv6 and EKP (Email Key Protocol) at
   http://www.pramberger.at/peter/services/keyserver/network/ )

(Please turn of HTML when replying. HTML and OpenPGP don't mix well)
