Details

With bug 1626683, we're adding an initial UI to manage the direct trust for OpenPGP keys of correspondents.

Magnus suggested that we review the dialog and wording, and try to improve it.

Summary: Key details dialog. Key acceptance settings. → Improve Key details dialog, Key acceptance settings.

Magnus asked, if the key creation date could be fake, does it make sense to show it?
Well, we could equivalently say, the email address listed with the key can be fake, too.
That's why verification is recommended.

There's a difference though: the creation date would only matter in any way at all for figuring out which key to use - with an address it's not like you can choose address for the key (eh..) . I suppose we could still show it, but make it clear it's just something the key claims.

Instead of "Created" we could say "Alleged Key Creation Date"

It's a bit long, we may want to just have an explanation above that clarifies it for.
