Try clicking on the icon at the left end of the "signature" bar where it's saying the signature is invalid. A "Security Information" box will appear, and one of the lines will read "gpg: Signature made ... using ... key ID xyz" You need to add that key to your keyring to be able to check the signature. $ gpg --recv-key xyz Next time you see a signature from that poster, it should say "Valid signature" for their mail, though it will probably also say "cannot verify sender". That's another discussion though ;-) Paul. > > -- Doc > Robert G.
