Sorry, for the bad description. When having a signed message in Enigmail
and you do not have the pub key in your key ring it shows a yellow bar and
ask if you like to decrypt the message. When clicking on the decrypt button
it searches key servers and not WKD.

Thanks, with auto-key-retrieve and auto-key-locate WKD etc. it works when
clicking on the decrypt button in Enigmail or the lock button in Claws-Mail
