Actually I am wondering if it is really such a good idea to prevent
encryption to untrusted keys. If I really want to encrypt to that key, I have
to sign or locally sign the key. So if I cannot for whatever reason verify the
key, I'll only sign it locally. However, after I did this, I might forget
about it. And so, in the future I might be tempted to think, that I *did*
verify this key in the past.
For that reason it might be better to allow users to encrypt to unverified/
untrusted keys. Maybe popup a warning message each time.
