A recent post on the mailing list shows the pink(ish) enigmail header
'Error-signature verification failed ....'

Clicking Details/security info shows that Public Key uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu is needed
to verify the signature.

gpg.conf should automatically download missing keys for me, so I looked in Key
Manager for the senders name.  I have his public key 0xzzzzzzzz which has enc,
sign, cert and authenticate and it is valid.

Also shown in the key properties is a subkey 0xuuuuuuuu with encrypt, sign and
authentication and this is valid.

This subkey is clearly the 'Public Key uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu' that the enigmail
security info says I need.

Why doesn't enigmail use the subkey to verify the signature ?
