Evolution itself doesn't do anything.  As I said Evolution uses gpg in
the background to deal with the keys.

I know seahorse is the repository for gpg keys, but what you do within
it doesn't really matter! It's what gpg reports that is critical. So,
does gpg think the key is trusted?

 gpg --list-keys --list-options show-uid-validity

It may be something like the key that you use to sign it is not fully
trusted by gpg.
