OK, so I have figured (I think) how I am supposed to decrypt in Outlook but it still does not work. I forwarded the message from Outlook back to linux and was able to decrypt in Thunderbird with no problem.
From linux I did a gpg --export > key.txt I sent this to my Windows machine. In windows I did gpg --import > key.txt Now the key shows up when I gpg --list-keys If I gpg -d file.txt I get decryption failed: secret key not available What have I done improperly?
