I have to communicate via PGP a lot via Windows, and I've been having a problem for a while that I'm trying to avoid having to go through a lengthy workaround. I'm running XP, Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 with GnuPG for Windows 0.7.4 (I know, I know -- I'm downloading an update right now, but I'm not sure that's the problem). When most people PGP me, they use GnuPG, and it's straightforward: I enter my passphrase, and it decrypts. However, people emailing me using PGP Desktop 9.5.2 give me a big headache.
I'll enter my passphrase, and get this error: gpg command line and output:,C:\\Program Files\\GNU\\GnuPG\\gpg.exe --charset utf8 --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 -d --passphrase-fd 0 --no-use-agent ,gpg: invalid armor header: www.pgp.com\r\n,gpg: invalid radix64 character 2E skipped,gpg: invalid radix64 character 2E skipped,gpg: CRC error; 661020 - 8E84F7,gpg: packet(3) with unknown version 41 I played around for a while, and found a fix for this. The top of the message looks like this: > -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- > Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.2 (Build 4075) - not licensed for commercial use: > www.pgp.com PGP Desktop adds a second line for "www.pgp.com". If I paste the message into notepad and delete that line, then decrypt the text file I save, everything is fine. It's a huge hassle to do every time I have a message, though (and a potential security issue), so I'm looking for a way to have this decrypt regularly in Thunderbird? Sorry if this should be in the enigmail list, I'm not quite sure where to send it. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
