When you choose to encrypt a mail a simple dialogue will appear so
that you can choose the key to encrypt to

In the case of your message, using PGP/inline, configure an Action
which uses this command:

ID=`gpg --verify %p 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3 |grep "key ID"|tr -d "[:space:]"|tail -c8`;echo "==== Fetching $ID ===="; gpg --no-tty --keyserver wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net --recv-keys $ID


In the case of PGP/MIME just click the signature icon
(application/pgp-signature) on the right of the message and you we
prompted to fetch the key. This supposes that you have a keyserver
configured in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
