--- Comment #6 from Andre Heinecke <aheinecke at intevation.de> ---
Pierre: There is a trust model in place to avoid having to sign every key to
trust the owner. http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/x334.html

Albert: You can see in your screenshot that you have unknown trust in the
identitiy ottens at kde.org and thats what KMail says to you (I just takes it's
information from gnupg for that matter). If kevin would have sent the mail as
ervin at kde.org it would have been green. As you know that the identities
ottens at kde.org and ervin at kde.org are the same person (keyholder) i see no
reason why you should not sign this and then kmail would show it as
valid/trusted again.

But imagine the case that you trust my key aheinecke at intevation.de and then one
day I decide to add ottens at kde.org to this identity and send you a mail. You
would not want to see that as a valid signature.
