For some reason the message portion of the above attachment was discarded, here is a repost:

The behavior seems to have changed since it was first reported, something must have upgraded. Now it does appear to work sometimes. Other times kgpg correctly identifies the message as having been encrypted to my key & asks for my passphrase 3 times very quickly, without waiting for a reply. When this happens I receive the error message above (MISSING_PASSPHRASE).

When entering passphrase or closing the 3 passphrase windows, kgpg usually crashes.

I suggest you subscribe to the public PGP chat group, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PGPNET/

You will be able to collect several examples of pgp encrypted messages that are encrypted to well over a dozen people using various OpenPGP programs. You should be able to see that some work in kgpg, but others do not. These are not bad postings...they decrypt using enigmail (and the exact same version of GnuPG).

I don't know enough what to look for, but something is different about some messages. It seems dependent on what software or settings the sender has chosen, as the same senders' messages usually (always?) crash. Certain algorithms? Certain hashes?

Thanks,

Lance
