It is up to the MUA on how to handle this.  The generic solution is to
use a local-key signature.

Given that it is a local signature you may simply delete it.  Changing
this to an exportable signature is possible simply by "sign"ing it.
gpg will warn you then:

  Do you want to promote it to a full exportable signature? (y/N)
