Good. That's a start :-) % decrypt the message. ESC-P doesn't work either..

My key should be on Good. % the public servers. I uploaded it to wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net a couple % of months ago.

Let me know % what you find out. From my [completely amateur] review of the file and comparison with my own tests, it looks as though your correspondent encrypted a file, pasted the encrypted text into a message, and then in-line signed that message which wrapped the signature around the encryption. mutt, AFAIK, isn't expecting two-step handling like that but, instead, a message that is both signed and encrypted in the same step. I think that that is where the problem lies. Take a look at my tests and see if any of them give you the same problem as your pal (I'm going to keep my bet on which it will be silent until the results come out, of course :-) Meanwhile, check with him or her and see how the encryption and signing are done; if some of it involves clipboard pasting, then that's probably the trouble. % % TIA HTH & HAND % % jbw :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
