Yes, I can read your message, but exmh was unable to auto-fetch your key; 
I had to do that by hand and then import it into my keyring.

Personally, I lean toward publishing the public key on the keyservers 
unless there's a reason not to. For instance, if I were using a pgp key 
to authenticate my domain name registrations, I wouldn't publish that 
key; but I would publish a key I use for day-to-day email.

Yes, I'm not aware of any auto-refresh function in gpg; people who have 
a copy of your public key would have to re-fetch it to pick up any 
new signatures you may gather.
