This is not the way it's supposed to work. If I don't check the public
key is trusted, why should I believe a message signed with it? Simply
picking up the key with the message is tantamount to doing nothing. I
must either know the key beforehand (i.e. I have it in my keyring) or I
fetch it from a public server and check who vouches for it.
