gpg.el no longer downloading new keys?

I seem to recall that gpg.el would use a keyserver of the user's
choice to attempt to download an unknown key.  Has this changed?

gpg.el does not do this, GnuPG automatically downloads a key if you
have a keyserver specified in the .gnupg/options file.

Did you by chance just upgrade from 1.0.6 to 1.0.7?

If so, you need to add:

keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve

to that file, since the default has been changed.  I believe this was
mentioned in the release notes.

I don't think that this is gpg.el but gnupg. It will do this if you
set the 'keyserver' line in ~/.gnupg/options
