Copy each of the messages into, say, /tmp/msg1.txt and /tmp/msg2.txt . gpg --verify /tmp/msg1.txt gpg --verify /tmp/msg2.txt This will work if the mails are signed inline (signature is part of mail). If the mails have a detached signature (as an attachment), then you'll have to pull out the text and the signature parts into separate files (msg1, msg1.sig, msg2, msg2.sig e.g.). Then: gpg --verify msg1.sig msg1 gpg --verify msg2.sig msg2 or something along those lines.
