Hi, > Comment 1) If you really want people to confirm a PGP signature, you > need to send the message unmodified.

This was/ is a freebsd security advisory and I thougth/ think, that I am not the only one on this list who will receive it... > > Comment 2) Asking others to verify a signature doesn't say a thing > about the validity of the signature. If they say it's fine for them, > that means you need to figure out why your software is complaining > about the signature and verify it yourself, *not* trust it. the second advisory, from the same day was fine...
