Verifying a Signature
=====================

   The function `mc-verify' will verify the cleartext signature on a
message in the current buffer.  `mc-read-mode' binds this function to
`C-c / v' by default.

   When this function is called, Mailcrypt will pass the message to PGP
for processing and report whether or not the signature verified.

   If the signature failed to verify because you lack the necessary
public key, Mailcrypt will offer to fetch it for you (Note: Key
Fetching).
