Performing a keyserver search, revoked keys are shown in italic and are greyed out. This is a good indication. However, it should not be impossible to import it, as someone might try to proove an old signature. > When someone is looking for the public key associated with an > email address or name, chances are pretty good that they are > actually looking for the key that has not been revoked.

Your first keyserver search didn't distinguish because the key wasn't revoked on the keyserver at this point of time. > Additionally, what's the point of all the key signing, if that can > not be taken into account. Maybe Enigmail could also show in an > additional column how many signatures a particular key has? Yes, we could do this, but that's - if at all - only a very weak indication for the "right" key. In other cases as yours there might be an old key with a lot of signatures but revoked, and a brand new, with no or very few signatures. > If both things were clearly visible, someone searching for me > could easily see that one key was revoked and not signed by anyone, > while the other was valid and signed by numerous people.

In my eyes this was due to the fact, that the revocation wasn't on the usual keyservers at this time. Please do not understand me wrong, I do not want to say that there is nothing to improve in Enigmail behaviour or display. But I think that if changes are made they should improve user experience in general.
