Try it on this message.

This is expected if you don't have the public key for Russell. You need
his public key to verify the signature.

The message was _signed_. It did not contain a public key, so there
was no public key to extract. People commonly sign messages, but
they do not normally put their public key in a message unless
someone requests it. I'll insert my public key below and you can
try adding it to your keyring. It uses RSA, so some newer versions
of PGP may have a problem with it.
