Re: Decryption Fails on UserName but not on EmailAddress ???

Makes sense. gpg --list-keys foo will list all keys where one of the user IDs contains the three letters foo (substring match). Please read the section HOW TO SPECIFY A USER ID in the manual page of gpg (man gpg) for the different possibilities to specify what key(s) to use for some operation with gpg.

May be there are two similar usernames or part of them in your keyring. -- Laurent Jumet KeyID: 0xCFAF704C ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

David, On the target (recipient) machine: --list-keys shows my Primary Key, My desktop Key and a co-worker's desktop key --list-secret-keys shows only my Primary Ke --list-keys PrimaryKeyUserName it only lists my primary key. This has happen when a file was encrypted from EITHER my desktop or mycoworker's desktop.

When you use -r emailaddr...@example.com you're matching the other one. Check your keyring to be sure: do a gpg --list-keys username to see all keys that match that name.
