Watch for Autocrypt: header in the message.
If it's present, trigger key registration process (like it was submitted via web form).

This might be pointless, as we'd get the keys of senders of mail received by the server where Lacre was running. Usually they would be on other servers and Lacre wouldn't get a chance to encrypt their mail. Therefore, storing these keys makes little sense

It would make sense only if users [often] exchanged mail within that one server.

There'd need to be a confirmation stage, because otherwise we'd register keys and start encrypting silently, which doesn't seem to be a good idea.
