Just tried "gpg --version" and "gpg2 --version" and both have MD5 available as digest algorithms (Debian 8.3). > I have found that putting "allow-weak-digest-algos" in my ~/.gnupg/options > is an effective work-around as far as encryption from claws-mail is concerned. > > However, adding that option causes encryption and decryption with gpg from > the command line to break (error: "invalid option"), so that is not an > acceptable work-around overall. Which one does break gpg or gpg2? By default ~/.gnupg/options is ignored, should be ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf¹, so don't really understand what's the problem. Can you run claws-mail with --debug option in a terminal and try to encrypt a mail to one of those recipients? It may show more info on what's happening. thanks in advance, ¹ https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/GPG-Configuration.html -- Ricardo Mones ~ Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
