IMHO not at all ... it could also mean your pub-key is not installed in the
local keyring ... made a "Check OpenPGP Signature" without having your key
in my keyring ... red "X" near the pencil! Searched a KeyServer for your Key,
imported it, signed it, increased trustlevel, checked sig again (without
closing TB!) -> et voila! everything is fine :-) .. so there eesm to be no
possibility to check the validity of a pgp-signature without having the
pub-key of the author installed  :-(
