Thanks to you and Kyle I've got it working with a macro. :)
What I'd really like would be to verify anything on my keyring, but only
fetch keys from a server when I asked. If I've bothered to put someone
on my ring then I care if the sig is valid. I've tried to get a fetch
into a macro, but no luck yet. I'll try a bit more, but what you two
have shown is workable if I don't succeed.
Thanks again!
