A three-part recipe for small annoyance:
1. "auto-key-retrieve" in gpg.conf
2. Automatic signature verification in email client.
3. The email I'm about to read was signed by a key that's not on
keyservers.
The result: There's a delay of several seconds every time I open the
message and in the end my email client (Gnus) says:
[[PGP Signed Part:No public key for B47D162E09E21476 created at
2017-10-04T11:13:25+0300 using RSA]]
:-)
