I was pondering with the idea to use the WoT or an existsing OpenPGP key
for fingerprint checking.
I'd personally prefer having a real OpenPGP plugin for gpg,...
Wouldn't that be the real solution?

Hi,
I am new to gpg command line utility for file encryption/decryption. I have
installed gpg4win v 2.0.2 & trying to encrypt a file with a key that I
imported which is also listing while typing list-keys command
The issue is that I am getting encryption failed no public key while typing

You might as well ask, "what's the point of OpenPGP at all, if it's so easy to

Not really. OTR uses DHKEA for symmetric key negotiation. This is an
interactive protocol: you send some information, the other person sends some
information b

Long story short, I use amanda for my backups and I've been using
encryptsimple for my backups. My PC died completely, and I'm trying to
get the backups onto another machine. I've stepped through the programs
and have found that it's calling gpg with
gpg --batch --quiet --no-mdc-warning --decry

Thanks for the response, the command

I used has double dashes still I gives the same error.
I think I am using the default keyring as I didn't change its location
