I am using Evolution 3.0.3 and Sylvia responding also to my message is
using 2.32.2.

I also filed this as bug #664657 [1].

The box is red and reads »Invalid signature« (German: »Ungültige

The certificate for Intel(?) seems to be missing.

Unterzeichner: <unknown> <<unknown>>: Signaturzertifikat nicht gefunden
Signee(?): <unknown> <<unknown>>: signature certificate not found

So I guess the error message should be improved by adding the reason to
