The key not being valid means that you haven't assigned any trust to
it. One of the issues with PGP security is ensuring that you have the
correct public key for the key the sender used to sign. If you are
certain the public key is really that of the sender, you can sign it
as being such. This will make the key valid/trustworthy for you and
PGP will display it as such when it's used to verify signatures.
