[MlMt] Note on Apple Mail

For me, it’s a single me.com account.  I’ve been using 6276 since it was available, and I’ve had no problems until this morning (it worked last night, but failed this morning).  No changes on my end at all.  I tried generating a new app-specific password, and it still didn’t work.  I upgraded to 6279, and it started working with no further changes.

In regards to the PGP, as far as I know that’s expected behavior.  The warning indicates that it found the key on the public keyserver (I’ve published it), but you haven’t decided to trust it.

For your message, I see this:
OpenPGP: The message signature is valid, but the key is not fully trusted.
That’s because I’ve gone into GPG Keychain and set the “Ownertrust” for your key to “Full” (but not “Ultimate”) - the choices being “Undefined”, “Never”, “Marginal”, “Full”, and “Ultimate”.  Another option is that I can sign your key, and optionally publish that I’ve signed it.  Historically this is something that you do when you are working directly with someone (or have met them in person) and you can confirm independently that the given key belongs to that person.
