[Enigmail] New to Enigmail and having a question about the validity of signatures

[Billy O Clinton]

Luke --

New here as well and a question I have wondered about.

The only absolute way to determine is to meet the person face-to-face to
verify fingerprints...Or, on the phone if you know them.

Other than that? I guess having many different places on the net people
know you on and post them for x-checks.

Hope this helps
