Ah.


% them in your private keyserver.  You then don't need to touch an outside
% keyserver when you want to verify an email, but your keyring isn't
% automatically polluted, either.

Meaning you'd still have pgp_verify_sig turned off and only occasionally
verify a sig -- and thus load the key onto your ring?  Maybe I'm spoiled
but I just get the keys directly when necessary, and when it takes a
moment or two I just flip to another window and read that list or hack
that code or whatever is there (at the moment I have 44 windows from
which to choose in this xterm alone ;-)
