That just means that you haven't signed the key, i.e., indicated that it
is valid.  GnuPG should continue with the encryption, though.

For example, this is what I see when I verify the signature on your
message:

  gpg: Signature made Wed 30 Jul 2003 10:29:51 AM EDT using DSA key ID 80D20A2D
  gpg: Good signature from "Carl L. Gilbert <Lamont_Gilbert@RigidSoftware.com>"
  gpg:                 aka "CLG <yahoogroups@rigidsoftware.com>"
  gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
  gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
  Primary key fingerprint: 82A6 8893 C2A1 F64E A9AD  19AE 55B2 4CD7 80D2 0A2D

The same message.
