<p>we are very sorry you are having problems with GPG Suite.<br>
From the debug log it appears that your key is very old, and might no longer be supported by newer versions of GnuPG, which could be the reason of the error you are seeing.</p>
<p>Could you please elaborate step by step what you are trying to do?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/454144102018-06-05T05:57:20Z2018-06-05T05:57:22ZGPGServices: GPG suite Decrypting Fail<div><p>I think it's not about my key.

<p>You're right, it'a about my old (1999) key. When I use a new key gpg works.<br>
Now, is it possible to recover my old files previosly encrypted with the old key?<br>
Thanks for your assistance</p></div>paolotag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/454144102018-06-05T11:41:07Z2018-06-05T11:41:08ZGPGServices: GPG suite Decrypting Fail<div><p>"Now, is it possible to recover my old files previosly encrypted with the old key?"</p>
<p>Solved. I installed a previous version. Now I can update my gpg files</p>

<p>ah great. Yes this change has been recently introduced to mitigate against EFAIL (<a href="https://efail.de">https://efail.de</a>)</p>
<p>We are currently considering adding a warning to GPGServices.</p>
<p>Regardless it is a great idea to re-encrypt the files with a new key.</p>
<p>Let us know if we can help you in any way.</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/454144102018-06-20T18:32:05Z2018-06-20T18:32:05ZGPGServices: GPG suite Decrypting Fail<div><p>Hi Paolo,</p>
<p>please take the time to thoroughly read the <a href="https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/faq/modification-detection-code-mdc-errors">Modification Detection Code (MDC) Errors KB</a>. It explains what the integrity check does and why it is important to be used.</p>
<p>So we highly recommend to use the latest release to be secure against the efail attack. You can decrypt old messages using the workaround in GPGServices.</p>
<p>Let us know if you need further assistance.</p>
<p>Best,<br>
