Please do not confuse the "ownertrust" (which answers the question "am i
willing to rely on identity certifications made by this key?") with any
belief that the keyholder is "trustworthy" in some other sense.  My
friend Alice might be trustworthy in terms of certifying identities
reliably, but she might be a terrible person to rely on to bake a
delicious cake or to write a sensible e-mail.

The user's current task when reading an e-mail is reading e-mail.
Displaying the ownertrust of the keyholder that signed a given e-mail is
a distraction from the user's current task and really has no place in
the default UI.
