That's now what we want to do in this scenario: Tom Newguy is the new
person in the group and I'm acting as the Group Security Facilitator
As a result:
* if you load my key and mark it fully trusted , and
* you then receive Tom Newguys key with my signature attached, then
* when you open Tom Newguy's message the system will show good signature
If, OTH you mark me MARGINALLY trusted Tom Newguy will need TWO
signatures on his key before he can go green
So what you would do: download my key from the server and set a trust
level. accept Tom's key from the e/mail. then read Tom's message. Try
setting the trust level on my key to different levels and then re-read
Tom's message: see what affect the setting has. Basically the question
you are playing with is: should I trust Tom because Mike signed for him?
