Hi,
A friend of mine uses Enigmail to encrypt his mail on a SuSE 9.x box
with gpg 1.2.1 installed.
Since I upgraded my Debian box to use gpg 1.4.1 I can't decrypt his
mails anymore:
$gpg-1.4.1 mal1.asc
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Christian H. Stork (University) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
3072-bit ELG-E key, ID B0BE33B2, created 1999-10-02 (main key ID 50F9CA2F)
gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID 4A12AF6D, created 2001-12-14
"Marc-Andre Lemburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
gpg: encrypted with 3072-bit ELG-E key, ID B0BE33B2, created 1999-10-02
"Christian H. Stork (University) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
gpg: uncompressing failed: unknown compress algorithm
gpg: WARNING: message was not integrity protected
But it works with gpg 1.2:
$gpg-1.2.4 mal1.asc
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Christian H. Stork (University) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
3072-bit ELG-E key, ID B0BE33B2, created 1999-10-02 (main key ID 50F9CA2F)

gpg: encrypted with 3072-bit ELG-E key, ID B0BE33B2, created 1999-10-02
"Christian H. Stork (University) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
gpg: old style (PGP 2.x) signature
gpg: Signature made Mon Sep 19 12:28:25 2005 PDT using DSA key ID 6A6DDB60
gpg: Good signature from "Marc-Andre Lemburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
gpg: aka "Marc-Andre Lemburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
gpg: WARNING: message was not integrity protected
Here's part of his gpg.conf:
---------------8<-------------------------------
# Needed for PGP 5.x interop
compress-algo 1
cipher-algo CAST5
no-sk-comments
s2k-cipher-algo CAST5
s2k-digest-algo SHA1
rfc1991
# The next option is enabled because this one is needed for interoperation
# with PGP 5 users. To enable full OpenPGP compliance you have to remove
# this option.
force-v3-sigs
# Because some mailers change lines starting with "From " to ">From "
# it is good to handle such lines in a special way when creating
# cleartext signatures; all other PGP versions do it this way too.
# To enable full OpenPGP compliance you have to remove this option.
escape-from-lines

Do I need to invoke gpg 1.4 with special options (I tried several
combinations without success)?
I'd be happy to provide more details if that is needed.
Thanks for your time,
Chris
