| 1. I am unable to open an email message sent to me by someone already in
| my keyring, I get the following error: 
| 
|   This message has been encrypted with PGP.
| 
|   Could not decrypt PGP data.
| 

Could you try decrypting the message via the command line?  On my TODO list 
is to return better error messages from gpg (essentially, just returning 
the output from the program).

Maybe the message wasn't encrypted right?  Unlike signed messages, 
encrypted messages are not really immune to any problems in the mail 
stream.  Thus, even if a mailing relay mangles end of lines, etc. the 
encrypted message still has a good chance of coming out right.

Talk to me personally if you are still having problems.

Hi Michael:

I will try when I have access to this box. I did use imp to encrypt the test
message, as well as decrypt. Great job thus far.
