What mail program are you using? Recent versions of Apple Mail (and Thunderbird??) can automatically verify signatures with the certificate authority and add the public key to your keychain. You shouldn't have to do anything._______________________________________________I'm using the most recent version of Apple Mail, running Mac OS X 10.5.2.
This is likely a keychain issue. Apple ships Mac OS X with a flock of X.509 certificates from the standard certificate authorities. If you open Keychain Access you can see them listed in the System Roots keychain. Among them should be the Thawte Personal Email CA. That's the one used to verify my signature.
You should also see my personal certificate in your login keychain. The personal certificate is automatically added when you get a signed message. This allows you to send me encrypted email.
