Hi, I received an encrypted email just now which appears to have decrypted fine, but which triggered the following alert

Running High Sierra 10.13.1

Decryption failed with unknown error!

An unknown error occurred while decrypting this attachment.
GPG error message:
gpg: signal Hangup caught ... exiting

    Hi davesag,

    could you please download and install our latest GPG Suite nightly build and see if the problem persists. That page also has sig and SHA256 to verify the download.

    Should the error persist using the nightly build, please send a debug log from your affected machine: Open System Preferences > GPG Suite > Send Report. Check the box to "attach debug log". Since you already described your issue in this discussion, you don't need to add a lot of detail, but please do add the link to your existing discussion, so I can then merge your debug info with this existing discussion.

    All the best,
    steve
