In enigmail preferences/Advanced/Additional parameters for GnuPG,  I have "-v" 
set.

You are right, Patrick.  I just tried your suggestions.
I deleted the key, did a --check-trustdb and then reopened the email concerned.
 A similar (possibly identical) listing appeared just before the closing marker
for the End of encrypted or signed part.

I then removed the "-v" from the preferences and repeated the procedure.  The
unwanted listing was not there.

I restored the "-v" preference, repeated the procedure and the unwanted listing
is back.

So your supposition is correct.  It seems that enabling verbose logging causes
the unwanted listing to appear when a new key is imported and the trustdb
recalculated.  That seems to me to be an unwanted / undesirable bug.

I don't suppose you class it as a feature ?

Philip
