And I absolutely agree with your argument. However, a web of trust

I "automatically" trust the key package of the distro I'm using, when
there's a release of new keys for signing packages, because the 
chain of
trusted keys at least is halfway comprehensible. But automatically
accepting each key needed to check the signature of an email is 
risky.
A user should care about the keys and be aware about the accepted
keys. A mouse click isn't much work.

Excellent points! I don't mind the auto downloading with the exception
of not blindingly setting the trust value. That way I can manually
validate and set the trust.
