  So because Will has sent this as a secure message and because I 
somehow have a copy of MailMate that doesn’t include GPGTools, I get a 
message that seems to imply that Will’s message is somehow less 
verifiable than all the messages that I get that *don’t* have any 
errors?

This seems less than intuitive.

What should I tell my wife or my mother-in-law when they see an error 
like this?

And is there something I should do to make sure that my copy of MailMate 
supports GPG?  (And is it “GPG” or “PGP”?  I’d thought it was 
“PGP” for “pretty good privacy”.)

Thanks for any further elucidation,
