Your emailer formats very interesting ;-)

Let's extend the warning by a clear command example how to retrieve the
missing key. Also there are inflictions when the proper fingerprint
isn't known.

Is there a way to download a key temporary and throw it away if the
signature doesn't match ? Because maybe the content+signature is correct
but the downloaded key is wrong...
