Thank you!  I'll test that now.

By the way, I believe I have found the source of the problem: when 
invoked by MailMate, GPG is using the "classic" trust model, which seems 
to mean that it ignores my "user trust" settings (the trust I manually 
assign to public keys), and only uses trust computed from signatures.

That is what I believe.  The documentation is quite poor, so I could be 
misinterpreting.

The next question is whether this is a matter of how GPG is invoked by 
MailMate, or whether it's a matter of my GPG configuration file.

[Once again I am reminded what a confusing mess public key cryptography 
is, and why it is that it is so rarely used.]

Thanks for all of your advice. I hope that I will come up with an answer 
that will be generally helpful to all MailMate users, to make it 
worthwhile.

Best,
