I've uploaded an animation of how it looks in the current development version 
of GpgOL:

https://wiki.gnupg.org/EasyGpg2016/OutlookUi#Empty_Keyring_-_Verifying_a_Mail_with_key_available_in_WKD

Below this you will find an animation which includes Keygen / Setup with a Web 
Key Service.


I'm not sure if the wording is perfect. "Confirmed" is a bit strong for WKD. 
It's in contrast to "Certified" which is the word for PGP / S/MIME trust.

Apologies for the language mix but I was running on a German Windows.

Best Regards,
Andre
