If you trust the key, you should sign it. Until you have signed the key, PGP considers it invalid, and rightfully warns you should you try to verify a message signed with such a key. Please see e.g. <URL:http://www.mccune.cc/PGPpage2.htm#Bad-Invalid> in "Tom McCune's PGP Questions & Answers". -- Thor Kottelin http://www.anta.net/
