Allie,

Thanks for the reply, quite informative (and my compliments on the
document in the link you gave me at landscreek.net, it helped me a
lot).

I probably didn't make this clear, and I'm probably not using the
right terminology:  What I'm trying to do is verify the signature on a
message that was created by someone else, which was "Encrypted AND
signed" by the author.  I have his public key.

Eudora, in this situation, lets me verify that the signature is valid,
i.e. that I have a key in my keyring, with the fingerprint of the key
that the author used to encrypt and sign.  I was looking for the same
functionality in TB.  It seems that all TB does is issue a "gpg
--verify" which produces the error I mentioned.  From your description
and everything else I've read, it looks like that is only good for
checking a signature in a .sig file, a detached signature, not
embedded in the encrypted message.  Sorry for the confusion.

If TB lets me actually launch an external program or batch file, to
which I can pass parameters like the To: From: and contents of the
message, I should be able to roll my own and write a program that
performs this verification, until Ritlabs does it right.

Thanks again and best regards
