What does it do if it doesn't have (and can't obtain) the key?  With
mutt if signature verification fails for some reason (such as a missing
key) all that happens is that an error message is displayed along with
the verification attempt.  If you don't have the key then gpg can be
configured to either just fail or try to get the key from the
keyservers.
