I tried out the following:

defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDebugSecurity -bool YES ; open /Applications/MailMate.app

...but I don't see anything in the terminal window or the console. Did I do something wrong?

Launch MailMate like this:

        /Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/MacOS/MailMate

Thank you!  I'll test that now.

By the way, I believe I have found the source of the problem: when invoked by MailMate, GPG is using the "classic" trust model, which seems to mean that it ignores my "user trust" settings (the trust I manually assign to public keys), and only uses trust computed from signatures.

That is what I believe. The documentation is quite poor, so I could be misinterpreting.

The next question is whether this is a matter of how GPG is invoked by MailMate, or whether it's a matter of my GPG configuration file.

[Once again I am reminded what a confusing mess public key cryptography is, and why it is that it is so rarely used.]

Thanks for all of your advice. I hope that I will come up with an answer that will be generally helpful to all MailMate users, to make it worthwhile.

Best,
r
