so gpg is doing as pgp. However, you haven't set this key as trustworthy so it 
is unusable for encryption.

You need to verify and sign the key. Also check that your own key is set as 
ultimate trust and that you've done a gpg --update-trustdb.

If you want to force it without trust (NOT wise) or if you have a secondary 
method of trust, use --trust-model always.
