<h1>Howto verify a message</h1>

</p>
<h4>STEP 1: Copy the text to the textedit-field</h4>
<p>
First Alice copies the text to the textedit-field.

</p>
<p>
<b>NOTE:</b> If the key is not present in your keylist, then the signers keyid is shown. 
</p>

</p>

<p>
If the key is not present, you can try to import the key from the default keyserver (which you can set in the settings dialog).
