Gang, correct me if I'm wrong...


I read this as the sender's public key is not on Gary's keyring in Seahorse and/or

not available from a public key server.


The message explicitly states the key is valid, meaning properly formed and not tampered

with, but then says it can't be verified.  Two different actions which have to happen

in sequence.


if I'm correct, then the following should resolve the yellow


gpg --keyserver <public server> --recv-keys <keyID in question>
