gpg must have the world's worst user interface.  And you know it must 
be _dreadful_ if even I feel that way.  ;->

$ gpg --send-keysgpg --keyserver pgp.dtype.org --send-keys bolsh at gimp.org

pgp.dtype.org is M. Drew Streib's keyserver.  It automatically exchanges
keys with all other keyservers, so you need only send to one.  Its Web
interface is at http://www.us.pgp.net/ .

Have a look at my gnupg lecture notes,
http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/lecture-notes/gnupg .  It covers Mutt
integration.

Drew's pages are a pretty good place to start.
