hmm... and how are revocations handled if the the public key is stored in
the readers address book? As far as I see in that case the risk is the
same, and this code part should also be removed.
However, I think an option would be to set the cache expiration time for
the public key item to a shorter time, eg. 1 hour.
Please rethink your decision....
