I was able to decrypt & read all of the emails you sent except for the signed+pasted-encrypted in-line message. With particular email I received the same results as with their emails. From what you said about the two-step process and based on the software they are using, eudora (win2K)/pgpfreeware 7.0.3 plugin that since pgpfreeware is a plugin and not an integral part of eudora that this is how the plugin handles the encryption and signing of messages with eudora. That would explain why when I send them signed+encrypted email they can only open it what they call a secure viewer which is a seperate window from eudora. The pgpfreeware plugin is expecting a two-step process and my emails are signed+encrypted in one-step. Therefore they can't read my emails directly within eudora. So which method is the standard signing and encrypting in one-step or two-steps?
