Well yes and no. The default pgp behavior is to verify signatures i.e.
pgp tries to connect to a key-server and inserts that key into your
public key-ring.
You can avoid that by setting pgp_verify_sig to 'ask-no' or 'no'. gpg
can be configured to use a different key-ring. Read the manual for
further instructions.
