Martin Pool's key that I have is A0B3E88B

If I do a search for 'mbp at sourcefrog.net' I can see the key is available
on subkeys.pgp.net. It happens to be the 6th key when searching for just
plain "Martin Pool".

You also can't do 'gpg --search-key A0B3E88B' but you can do
gpg --recv-key A0B3E88B

His full fingerprint is:
pub   1024D/A0B3E88B 2000-07-24
  Key fingerprint = AFAC 578F 1841 EE6B FD95  E143 3C63 CA3F A0B3 E88B

I don't know where 218D18D7 comes from, though.
