Presuming that F742DB29 really is your key, then the message has been correctly encrypted to you. I've sent a few test messages to adele, but she doesn't seem to like the public key that I've sent her... :-/ It is possible that the message has been mangled in transit, or in the process of copying and pasting it into a file. Did you cut and paste from the raw email source, or from the formatted mail? Could it be that there are invalid characters in the pasted ciphertext? I'll send you a test message off-list. Let me know here if you get it, and if you can decrypt it. Feel free to include it in any replies so that we can see what format it gets to you in. -- Andrew Gallagher signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

I sent my Public key to ad...@gnupp.de, which is a german project for GPG, and the server and adele are for practicing. Adele took my public key and sent me an e-Mail with some text and her public key, so i should be able to decrypt that with my private key. I don't have a plugin for my e-Mail-program because i just use the webinterface of the e-Mail-Server.

I managed to create my keys with "gpg2 --gen-key" I wrote an e-Mail to ad...@gnupp.de with the subject "Mein öffentlicher Schlüssel", which is german for "my public key".

Now addressing what I think is the culprit: You encrypt your e-mail with the public key of the recipient. When you are the recipient of an encrypted e-mail, the sender needs your publick key to be able to encrypt the e-mail that will be send to you. You, the recipient, will use your private key to decrypt this e-mail. That having been said, as far as I know, you need to configure your e-mail client (TB/Enigmail, Mutt ...) to do that for you . In otherwords, the encrypted stuff should not be pasted into the file "nachricht.txt". -- John Doe ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
