Thank you!
The file was encrypted to the key 4A83B612, but you don't have the corresponding secret key. You only have the secret key for 69258CF8/EA31820A. Is it possible that there are two different key pairs for that user? (it was encrypted to one of them, but you only hold the private key for the other) Best regards _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
