I missed this message in my first reply. > gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available With the additional data supplied by Patrick: Signature key ....: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx F7E0 86A6 created ....: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Encryption key....: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 8A27 0C95 created ....: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Authentication key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 37BD F910 created ....: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx General key info..: pub 1024R/F7E086A6 2005-09-21 Patrick Plattes (Mr. you can see that the messages has been encrypted to the authentication key and not to the encryption key (8a270c95). This is due to the fact that gnupg 1.2.5 does not know about authentication keys and tries to use them as encryption keys. This has been fixed in 1.2.7 (the last one in the old 1.2 branch).
