As the Odyssey of switching people to mac, and then from PGP to GPGtools (hehe) keeps on, I stumbled on a first one...

This users has the latest updates for snow leopard, however, after installing GPGtools on his, when receiving an encrypted message, the window only shows two .TXT files, one of the with the message, that includes all sorts of weird symbols.

I tried messaging from different users and platforms to test if the problem was a configuration of specific users, or his computer. I got the same error from PGP desktop clients, both mac and windows, as well from GPGtools clients.

Even unselecting to decrypt message automatically, and then clicking on decrypt, still the message turned from ASC files, to TXT files, and not a decrypted body message as with all of the other computers I have installed GPGtools on.

Any ideas?

thanks

    Welcome back again :)

    Unfortunately at this time we have no resources what so ever to support Snow Leopard. Once GPGMail 2.0 for Lion is stable we'll focus on porting to Mountain Lion and hopefully porting back to Snow Leopard.

    Are there previous versions that were stable I can go back to? Or is it my imagination that it used to work on it? (working on getting a lion usb from the apple store to install it on his)

    thanks

    Hey acm.

    Sure there was a stable version for 10.6. Find it here: http://www.gpgtools.org/gpgmail/index.html

    But stable does not mean perfect - since nothing on earth really is. So maybe rather go for the Lion and let us know if issues persist.

    All the best,

    Hey acm,

    what's the status on this problem? Did you get 10.7? Did the stable for 10.6 work?

    Please let us know - or simply close this discussion if the problem is solved :)
