I realize that importing a key is not supported (yet) in the Windows version of Claws-Mail. Attempting to produces this warning message: This key is not in your keyring. Key import isn't implemented in Windows. I was just wondering if there are any plans to implement this feature? It would certainly be very useful.
Yes, there are plans, but nothing immediate - unless someone steps up and writes the code. It should be fairly straightforward, we need to execute gpg.exe with --recv-keys argument, in a separate thread, or process. But this requires one to be familiar with Windows API for spawning new threads/processes (CreateProcess(), CreateThread() and their friends.)

Is the spawn features from glib not enough? https://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.26/glib-Spawning-Processes.html#g-spawn-command-line-sync
Good, we have a volunteer! :)

Your implementation should work in Linux/BSD/whatever as well, others would test it on Windows for sure ;-)
This has now been implemented, see <http://git.claws-mail.org/?p=claws.git;a=commitdiff;h=c4a67908ff7646951679cd56b187c689f8f325ca>. Done with bare winapi, since g_spawn* functions have a somewhat different use case than what was needed here. Also, I trust winapi more than I trust glib to not change the API in a year or so.

There have been at least two major changes since it was last released?
