How do prevent this message from occurring?

C:\Mercator6.7\gnupg>gpg -r "Exel_PGP@exel.com" -o "rph4.txt" -e "README"
Could not find a valid trust path to the key. Let's see whether we
can assign some missing owner trust values.

No path leading to one of our keys found.

Fingerprint: 5BE3 D6D5 018E 1800 D1E9  BA62 C2C7 748B E373 C042

It is NOT certain that the key belongs to its owner.
If you *really* know what you are doing, you may answer
the next question with yes

Use this key anyway?

When I answer yes the encryption takes place

This is not related in any way to GPA, but to gpg.

And even then, it's a feature of gpg to complain about
untrusted keys, not a bug, and certainly not a "critical",
"high priority" bug.

For further usage questions, please refer to the mailing lists.

Thanks,
