SUMMARY

using a trusted key to sign with a UID that it doesn't have shouldn't be green.
note: evolution warns about this.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create 2 sets of full gpg keys
2. use another client to sign sending one of your emails with the other emails
key.


I did this with a misconfiguration via fairemail.

OBSERVED RESULT

kmail shows green and all happy


EXPECTED RESULT


kmail should show yellow or red because that key isn't approved for that uid.
