Re: UNTRUSTED signature in GPG

[Fernando Shayani <fernando_shayani () yahoo com br>]

Thanks for the help.
I'm using GnuPG with WinPT to control the keys.

With WinPT I can change the ownertrust for each key (then I can say that 
this key is trusted), but when I try to change this setting, it says 
that the key is "not valid".

What that means?
