What do you mean by "trust"?

Does it help to raise the level of "trust" for a key you want to encrypt to
(by doing 'gpg --edit-key 0x12345678 trust' upon this key)?

What is the logic in this?

I thought "trust" was something about how I rate people's accuracy in
signing other's keys. Don't untrusted people deserve to get encrypted mail?

Greeting, Michi
