Trusted keys?
Hello,

I am sending mail to someone with a key which I have signed with both my RSA
and DSA keys:

vulcan:~> gpg -kvv kspaink
[...]
pub 1024R/FA92E2C5 1995-10-15 Karin Spaink <kspaink@xs4all.nl>
sig 86156B85 1999-11-30 Johan Wevers <johanw@vulcan.xs4all.nl>
sig D42F80B1 1995-11-08 Johan Wevers <johanw@vulcan.xs4all.nl>

However, when I want to send her encrypted mail, I get the following
warning:

vulcan:~> gpg -aes -r kspaink tempf

[...]

Could not find a valid trust path to the key. Let's see whether we
can assign some missing owner trust values.

No path leading to one of our keys found.

1024R/FA92E2C5 1995-10-15 "Karin Spaink <kspaink@xs4all.nl>"
Fingerprint: 4E E3 05 07 AE 8E 4D 5D 6C AE 89 E1 5B 9F 3F DE

It is NOT certain that the key belongs to its owner.
If you *really* know what you are doing, you may answer
the next question with yes

I'm using gpg 1.0.0. What can I do to remove this warning? (I know her
personally so I know the key is OK).

Please do a "gpg --check-sigs" kspaink too

Please run this again, add the option "--debug 256" and send it to me.
