gpg creates a hidden directory in your $HOME. in this directory is your 
keyring. whenever you retrieve a key using 'gpg --recv-key' or import a saved 
key from 'gpg --import-key' , it's added to you rkeychain. your mail client 
should be able to be configured to automatically check your keychain and 
validate keys. I use kmail, which does this very well
