So I thought I'd ask a PGP question.

Lets say I have 3 PGP users "A", "B" and "C".

B sends A their public key, which A signs and returns.

Now "B" and "C" dont have each other's public keys, but they do have "A"s.

If "B" signs a message that is sent to "C", but "C" only has "A"s public key, can "C" verify "B"s message without asking for "B"s public key?

I thought the answer was yes, but I'n not sure now...
