I guess everything after the "[...], but" is not incorporated into the=20
signature but is part of the local trust database. Correct? Now I=20
wonder how I can specify "I only trust B enough to make people=20
partially trusted and only for people at aol.com". Is it correct that=20
the first part "partially trusted" can be achieved by assigning=20
"marginal trust" to a key owner (gpg --edit-key trust)? How can I=20
assign a regexp?
