There seems to be a problem with your key on (some) PGP key servers:

deneb[90]:~% gpg --recv-keys 73d288a5
gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!
gpg: requesting key 73D288A5 from wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net ...
gpg: key 73D288A5: invalid self-signature
gpg: key 73D288A5: no valid user IDs
gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:           w/o user IDs: 1

keys.pgp.com worked fine, though.

Hmm, are you sure?  We're using a version of GnuPG installed from pristine
sources (not from the /ports tree) and this seems to support IDEA:

deneb[91]:~% gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 1.0.4

Hope this helps,
