*snort* Lazy! Now I have to go to all of the work of detaching it
somewhere... Sheesh ;-)
Results:
- When I just hit return to view the message without any prep, I of
course see the signature in the body. Also as expected, when I hit
esc-P the index view changes to add an 's'.
- When I read the message (with $p_v_s=yes) gpg runs and verifies the
signature and I get the standard gpg output at the top of the body.
- When I go back to the index I still have 's'.
- Exiting and starting again, this time manually setting $p_v_s=no, is
not only, admittedly, faster to open the message but I do indeed get
an 'S' -- even in my little $pager_index_lines window the veritable
instant I view the message. The only gpg stuff I get, meanwhile,
are the BEGIN and END lines.
- Just for fun, bailing and then going through the steps above without
the restart in the middle yields the same results ('' to 's' to 'S'),
and (just as when I tried it before bailing out of session #2 above)
even setting $p_v_s=yes again does not change the 'S' back to 's'.
I trust that this provides you sufficient detail...

% Well, if I try to verify *your* message, it does change to an 'S', even
% though I haven't signed my copy of your key. (?)
How very interesting. OK, I conclude that I have no idea what s/S
signifies!
:-D
