UPDATED QUESTION:
Using Outlook 2013 64bit on Windows 7 64bit, I have setup GnuPG which allows me to send encrypted emails. To do that, I asked someone for their public key. I sent them an email and cc'ed in another person. The original recipient (the person who sent me their public key) was able to decrypt the message, and the cc'ed person was not able to decrypt the message (as the cc'ed person did not have the private key to match the public key I used to send the email). All good so far.
I installed k9mail on my phone (Android 8.1.1), I tried importing the same persons public key, I selected that person to send an email to them, and when I clicked send, I get a message saying no key configured for this account, check your settings
.
I check the key settings for the public key I was sent, and it says confirmed key
.
Any idea why the public key I received works from Outlook 2013, but not from Android's k9mail?
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
I've received an email with an attachment:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
long string goes here
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
How do I use this signature to check that the email is truly from the person I assume to have sent it?
I am looking for a Windows/Linux command line method to verify the email.
What email client are you using? What have you already tried? (If I judge your previous question correctly, you may be using Outlook, but that still does not explain whether you have actually tried to install OpenPGP or what steps you have taken.)

No, certutil is not the proper tool. Your question would benefit from having more context, e.g., what operating system you're using, what client software, what GPG/PGP package you are using, any constraints you may have. Also, why would you want to manually do it, when there are tools that can automate this process, which integrate into your email client? – slhck – 2018-05-24T14:28:04.807
Eh, that's still not straightforward, as it depends on the client you're using, how you will export the email, what format it is (inline, or multipart), how you encode the contents. Couldn't you just install a PGP/GPG plugin in your client, or is this more of an “academic” exercise? – slhck – 2018-05-24T14:52:33.387
@slhck Added further details to question. – oshirowanen – 2018-05-25T08:29:49.677
For Android, are you using OpenKeychain? – user1686 – 2018-05-25T11:04:06.727
@grawity - Yes I am. – oshirowanen – 2018-05-30T08:55:37.477
