Well it's the official certification authority issuing "Digital Signatures" in 
Denmark and it's listed "Other Certificates" together with Verisign; which BTW 
isn't in "Trusted Certificates" either.

Where would I set this? I cannot find it anywhere in Kleopatra. And the "Change 
owner trust" menu is grayed out.

Sorry for all the basic questions but I get very confused when trying to set

steps and keep a backup. Last time I lost everything due to an HD crash :-(
