The message says "Dateilesefehler" which means "File read error". I would suspect a media or drive error. Gpg telling "manipulation of the encrypted message" is most probably due to wrong input data and a subsequent error message. It does not necessarily imply a 3rd party. A bad backup media can as well be the manipulator... :-(( Ludwig -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEVAwUBRTpmcFYnpxVXVowdAQKiYAgAjSUk+Uzqu4qJGycGLOii9R2KNgAzexs1 Thq+A5Yg4jXtb62xdO1ry9c6d9eUhSm1BOqWyBrp0ujpgwAgRYpI1lBNyEUKWZid COn23aP/0TIjBClTCjGwImIb0iKVPuoEuQlsYNzx+VbIMneldY4E5zPa0+SrdttW /arAAd1MpHkEnOJOVBg+IYXDpUQIMfm8KTHMhGpt98olF6hJ0oSXLV+qc7RtfC7W wyN99SmIDi1R+44aYVBA0qV4KoyNRuFUQ3r5r9cD6M4EA8Ku8O8fV0K76NlrE94C q8O5PUQGZIblF8+gVAXzAgXilxge6tkLgAmcFiOSGFa080YYJ+ClAA== =vK8E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
