5.1: Keyring Fetch

The function mc-pgp-fetch-from-keyrings will attempt to fetch a key from a set of keyrings on the locally accessible filesystem. This is useful if your organization maintains a large common public keyring whose entire contents you do not wish to duplicate on your own ring. It is also useful if you download a copy of the global public ring from the key servers (see Key Servers).

The variable mc-pgp-fetch-keyring-list controls this behavior. It is a list of file names of public keyrings which this function will search, in order, when seeking a key. The default value is nil, meaning this search will always fail.
