I believe I resolved that by opening the GPG Keychain application that GPG 
Tools installed into the Applications folder, double-clicking on my key pair, 
and setting the "Ownertrust" on it to "Ultimate".  I can send a screenshot if 
needed.

I keep getting "The signature is valid, but the key is not fully 
trusted" even if I send a signed message to myself.


How do I fully trust a key?

That was... unexpectedly straightforward and simple.  Thanks, Charlie!

They talk about a purchase, that's just for the plugin for Apple Mail 
(no plugin needed for MailMate); otherwise it's free software.

[MlMt] PGP/GPG signing and encrypting

[Eric A. Meyer]

Hey gang,

For reasons, I decided to add OpenPGP-based signing and encrypting to 
MailMate.  Except, I know next to nothing about how to make that 
actually work.


I think I successfully installed gnupg with Homebrew, since the error 
messages I got in MailMate changed from "can't find gpg" to other stuff, 
but I'm still getting error messages when I try to encrypt-- and I still 
haven't worked out how one signs a new message without fully encrypting 
it.


I generated a public-private key pair using https://pgptools.com/ and I 
_think_ I imported their .ASC files into gpg, but again, I'm not clear 
if I did it properly.


All of this being a long-winded way of asking: does anyone have a gentle 
total-n00b's intro to getting this working?  Command line is fine with 
me, if that's the best path.  Also not wedded to the public/private key 
paid I generated online, since I've not shared the public key with 
anyone, so I'm happy to generate a new pair locally if that's 
recommended.
