Thats because the key issuer is some sort of all caps, 3 line swahili we 
never heard of before. All of a sudden we're getting popups from 
pientry-gnome3 asking us to swear that this key signer is legit.  How 
theheck are wwe to know?

And it doesn't copy-paste, blocks all other input while its present on 
screen.  Being the paranoid old fart I am, I am not about to click ok on 
such a mystery message. click on close or cancel changes the main, 
yellow kmail warning to click this for details, I click and it then says 
no details available. Is there a switch to shut this stuff off?

Cheers, Gene Heskett
