Is there any way I can avoid having this from members of the list? Surely it's not necessary. What use does it have? Here is a recent example:
Message was signed with unknown key 0x7382241C0FA80BB1. The validity of the signature cannot be verified. Status: No public key to verify the signature
Are you asking about that message, or about the use of pgp signatures? The message is put by your mailer (kmail), and informs you that the email is signed, but that as you don't have the originator public key it can not certify its origin. The use of gpg signatures is to certify that the person that claims to have written that email really did so - it is very easy to impersonate anybody in emails - viruses and spam do so everyday. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
