You can click on the icon for more details, but > the only important info for normal use is whether it is trusted or > not. I feel the two states are: 1. Have key in keyring: This has three sub states: a. Good & the key is trusted b. Good but the key is *not* trusted (e.g. security updates where you might not have a chain of trust to the signer) c. Bad 2. Unverifiable Evo currently mentions 1a and 1b, but mixes up 1c and 2. It takes user intervention (by clicking on the tab) to find out which one is which. It is important to distinguish between 1c and 2, because you often get signed messages from people whom you might have missed adding to your keyring. And you would like to be sure that you know either their message has been modified in transit or that you need to import their keys. e.g. when somebody changes their keys.
You're still going to have to look at the details window.
