Yup, a wax seal.

Well, IMHO GPG key management is out of the scope of a mailer. Doing
this right involves way more than just fetching a key...


Anyway, to automate this process (importing of unknown keys), edit your
GPG options in ~/.gnupg/options or ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf and let GPG itself
care about this. :)  Just add these settings:

keyserver your.preferred.keyserver.net
keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve


Works like a charm for me. :)  HTH
