Also, I requested and got the PGP keys of two people on this
list, and imported them.
I found out how to make those keys valid, I had to sight those
keys with my key (aparently). Then I tried to check their PGP
signatures in the messages they sent to the list. They returned
invalid.
I have an idea why this happens but I am not sure, could it be

that invalids them ? I remember that someone on the list said
that PGP signatures have something to do with the text of the
actual e-mail. So I figure that if the e-mail message has been
tampered with the signature becomes invalid.
