Thanks Alexander... I'll definitely check them out. But right now I'm
curious if you know why gpg is calling your detached sig "BAD"??? 

Since I don't know how to get pine to feed detached sigs to gnupg, I
save them to  files... This is what I copied from the konsole screen
buffer. (sequence was verify to extract key ID, paste pub key from server
to file "sig", import sig, verify for effect, and cat for actual content
verification)
