verification failed, error handling

[iclou]

If the verification of a signed email fails, how does the error handling look like?

From kryptomime there is not much support, the respective result variables are just 'boolean' without indicating any reason of thhe failure.

Any chance to improve by providing some more information about the failure of the verification?

Thanks for any clarification

File: pgp.py
Function: _check_signature

Please can you remove the line
if not result: continue # no valid signature

Then the calling script gets the full gpg error message -

Thanks for taking this into consideration

Thank you for the report.
Just removing the line would return also failed verfications (e.g, for unknown keys), which IMO should be handled separately. I'll give it some thought.
