[Discuss] mailvelope does not automatically download keys



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

The way mailvelope works is that, you have to first, search for a key
on the key server, then manually import it. Unlike enigmail that will
automatically download the key from the key server, mailvelope
requires the extra step.
