Re: Another GnuPG Problem



Hello Bryan.


Thanks for Your reply. 

I can read signatures from this list. Your mail was signed:
with the ID 74289BEF. I just do not have the public key to check it, but
this is another thing.
It also looks like that I can encrypt a mail and send it to a pop email
adress, which forwards it to my university IMAP server. From this
server, I can read the mail mutt. The program ask me for my mantra
befire the mail body is displayed and decrypts it in case the mantra was
entered correctly.
This does not apply if my friend sends me an email. I am not asked for a
mantra, and the mail is displayed in the encrypted mode.

Could it be that the program which is used by the friend of mine is
mangling around with pgp headers? 


I have attacked the email header of my friend to this mail.
