For some signed emails, the public key is not auto-retrieved from keys.openpgp.org despite the key being available.
The problem is not reproducible with all keys but was reproducible for me with message from 0xD698267AEC3DDBCF we received on 2022-04-28.

2022-06-15: Tested the following:

Remove Luke's public key from GPG Keychain, with auto-retireve enabled select signed email:
Security: Encrypted, Signed (0xE58271326F9F4937) Public key is automatically reetrieved and upon deselecting and re-selecting signed email, the signature is verified and user ID shown instead of key ID.

Remove Luke's public key from GPG Keychain, with auto-retireve disabled select signed email:
Security: Encrypted, Signed with unknown key (0x608B00ABE1DAA3501C5FF91AE58271326F9F4937) Note how the full fingerprint is shown.

In cases where public key is not automatically retrieved, like in the second scenario, the full fingerprint is not shown but only the key ID, which is not sufficient information for vks hagrid to provide the public key.

Problematic email was created with:
Version: FlowCrypt Email Encryption 8.2.7

• another potential cause for signed mails which only provide key ID instead of fingerprint, can be emails sent with CanaryMail (which uses ObjectivePGP, which may create signature including only key ID not fingerprint) we received at least one example.
• or if the cause is not CanaryMail respectively ObjectivePGP, it could be the key which could have been generated with Mailvelope before 2022-01-31. And yet another cause
• and yet another problem could be MS Exchange, the gift that keeps on giving, it is always hard to tell what the outcome will be when Exchange is at play
