GnuPG: verifying the sender

A person emailed me his PGP signature. When I compared it to the signature from the PGP server, it is much shorter not matching at all. I use the version 1.4.9.

  1. Why is the signature so short?
  2. Why does it not match the server?

  3. What is the signature of about 100 bits' encryption?

    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (NetBSD)
