This should be a function for verifying that the NoCeM issuer is who she
-says she is. The default is @code{mc-verify}, which is a Mailcrypt
-function. If this is too slow and you don't care for verification
-(which may be dangerous), you can set this variable to @code{nil}.

-If you want signed NoCeM messages to be verified and unsigned messages
-not to be verified (but used anyway), you could do something like:
-
-@lisp
-(setq gnus-nocem-verifyer 'my-gnus-mc-verify)
-
-(defun my-gnus-mc-verify ()
- (not (eq 'forged
- (ignore-errors
- (if (mc-verify)
- t
- 'forged)))))
-@end lisp
-
-This might be dangerous, though.
+says she is. The default is @code{pgg-verify}, which returns
+non-@code{nil} if the verification is successful, otherwise (including
+the case the NoCeM message was not signed) returns @code{nil}. If this
+is too slow and you don't care for verification (which may be dangerous),
+you can set this variable to @code{nil}.
+
+Formerly the default was @code{mc-verify}, which is a Mailcrypt
+function. While you can still use it, you can change it into
+@code{pgg-verify} running with GnuPG if you are willing to add the
+@acronym{PGP} public keys to GnuPG's keyring.
