+@item "auto-key-retrieve"
+Setting the @var{value} to "1" asks the backend to automatically
+retrieve a key for signature verification if possible. Note that this
+option makes a "web bug" like behavior possible. Keyserver or Web Key
+Directory operators can see which keys you request, so by sending you
+a message signed by a brand new key (which you naturally will not have
+on your local keyring), the operator can tell both your IP address and
+the time when you verified the signature.
