I could not find documentation on this. `C-h v gnus-treat-x-pgp-sig RET' lead me to the info files, whence I found this: `W p' Verify a signed control message (`gnus-article-verify-x-pgp-sig'). Control messages such as `newgroup' and `checkgroups' are usually signed by the hierarchy maintainer. You need to add the PGP public key of the maintainer to your keyring to verify the message.(1) -- Kevin Brubeck Unhammer GPG: 0x766AC60C
