Use Mailvelopes "keyserver"

[bnvk]

Disclosure: I have not reviewed how you are currently doing key searching at all...

A significant UX pain point in PGP encrypted email is importing keys. Using traditional keyservers via GnuGP can have all sorts of issues in performance and speed of requests (not to mention the problem of keys in the server being revoked, lost private, expired, or fraudulent) that need to be dealt with UX wise.

A new project by @mailvelope vastly improves on these issues with mailvelope/keyserver and exposes a simple JSON REST API. Thus, you should consider implementing this in your plugin 😄

Sorry for not responding. This plugin is deprecated. This plugin as it stands now just calls GPG and uses whatever keys you have in your keychain.
