Thanks Jeff,  this gives me the key in an easy way.

Under evolution I click on the padlock icon and it gives me the key id,
I can then use that keyid to grab from the central server.  Cool this
works.  Example line:

gpg: Signature made Wed Oct 15 22:42:53 2003 EST using DSA key ID
FF50E0A4

So I use FF50E044  (Don't it does not work just an example)

The interesting thing is that the key is still not trusted.  Is this
where I have to join a trusted key ring like slug?

gpg: checking the trustdb
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the
owner.
