A Microsoft user sent me a gpg encoded MIME enclosure 
I clicked to save that then reported:
        file file.asc
                PGP armored data message
        gpg -d -o xx file.asc
                You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
                user: "Julian H. Stacey (20080604103910) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
                2048-bit ELG-E key, ID E82C367A, created 2008-06-04 (main key 
ID F986DFE1)

                secmem usage: 2048/3712 bytes in 4/8 blocks of pool 4832/32768

I ran:
        cd /usr/src ; find . -name \*zlib\* | xargs touch ; make all install
        exited & restarted exmh & retyped passphrase, & problem persists.

I tried running EXMH on 7.0 686 ( very slow, problems with NFS/AMD
(or maybe some gbde linked ~/.* initialisers ) & still a problem
with zlib.

I would try claws-mail, but a problem with gpg-agent (maybe local net related?)
I guess I'll try thunderbird.
Any comments/ ideas very welcome.
Julian
