If you have this, then you should have an ordinary PGP/MIME signed
message. When you read it, do you get something like
[-- PGP output follows (current time: Tue Jun 27 16:23:09 2000) --]
Good signature made 2000-06-23 10:03 GMT by key:

This signature applies to another message
[-- End of PGP output -- The following data is PGP/MIME signed --]
[-- Attachment #1 --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Encoding: quoted-printable, Size: 2.2K --]
at the top of your display in the pager? [Note that this PGP output
has been made somewhat less verbose thanks to a feature patch, but you
get the idea.] You shouldn't have to do anything in order to read or
verify the sig, as long as you have the public key available -- and I
would figure you should if it's yours :-)

Did you know that you have a security hole in your kernel?
