"sig", followed by:
1. ! for good sig, - for bad sig, % for error, and blank for no public
key available to verify sig.
2. 1-3, giving the verification level of the key. This is just
cosmetic (a note from the signer to you) and has no bearing on
whether the key is trusted or not.
3. L for a local signature, blank if not local.
4. R for a nonrevocable signature, blank if revocable.
5. P if a policy URL exists on this signature, blank if not.
6. N if a notation exists on this signature, blank if not.
7. X if the signature is expired, blank if not.
8. 1-9 if this is a trust signature, or "T" if the trust signature
depth is greater than 9. Blank if not a trust signature. (GnuPG
1.3.x only).

Make a signature, and when it asks you for the level, enter a '?'.
