Actually, it struck me as I sent that post that by signing it myself
I would/could see what would happen if a message were encountered
from someone whose public key I *do* have <grin>.
The output in the first line changes appropriately; the last two lines
remain, telling me that the signature applies to "another message" and
that something (what?) is apparently being sent to /dev/null.
Is there a keyring somewhere of public keys of list members?
