I use gpg, and it works fine with the public keyservers. I originally used
pgp 2.6.2 in 1995, but at the time I had no luck integrating it with pine.
Earlier this year I dusted off my old key and imported it into gpg, and 
I've
been using it ever since. As I recall, the chief complication I ran into
was that gpg, as distributed by Redhat, didn't support the IDEA algorithm
out of the box; I think I had to download the source somewhere and build
a module to plug into gpg to support IDEA. It's worked fine since then.

Oh, and my preferred email client is exmh, a tck/tk front-end to MH. Its
support for pgp and gpg is clean and transparent.
