Set it up according to the
instructions. Successfully created the GPG key. I then followed the
instructions for creating my first encrypted mail. I followed all
the steps and both the lock and star icon were blue and not dark
grey and the lock was closed. My completed email looked identical
to the one shown. I clicked on the send icon and the popup asking
for my pass phrase opened and I entered it. The mail was then sent
to myself ( used the same email address as shown in the
screenshot). When I received the email, the message was not
encrypted and the lock was closed. I tried several more times and
now when I go to send it, I am not asked for my pass phrase. No
matter what way I try... I even added a second email address... the
message does not encrypt and as I mentioned, I am no longer asked
for the passphrase.</p></div>iona64tag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/356574982014-12-29T23:24:54Z2014-12-29T23:24:54ZEmail Not Decrypting but I can still read it<div><p>Hi Iona,</p>
<p>I have good news, your eyes are fully intact. This is a recent
change and I have just added an item to my to-do. That item is
about updating the KB article you are referring to with new
screenshots.</p>
<p>We did change the icon for an encrypted mail. Many users where
interpreting the open lock as an unencrypted mail. So while the
mail you see is in fact encrypted, it has alreayd been decrypted by
GPGMail. The open lock makes little sense since users ideally never
would see a closed lock. Decrypting the mail is what GPGMail is
there for so if you setup alright it should just do it's thing.</p>
<p>If a mail does not get decrypted there is likely an error and
then you'll see an error message.</p>
<p>As not being asked for your passphrase, please have a look at
this KB article explaining your options for passphrase mangement:
