This option enables the automatic retrieving of keys from a keyserver
when verifying signatures made by keys that are not on the local
keyring.
</para><para>
Note that this option makes a "web bug" like behavior possible.

on your local keyring), the operator can tell both your IP address and
the time when you verified the signature.
