I tried sending an encrypted message to a friend using --encrypt -ear and cutting and pasting the ASCII into a message. When she tried decrypting it she said it kept giving her back a blank message. I had another friend send me a message and got

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "The Grand Wizard [email blocked]"
2048-bit RSA key, ID 2CE214FC, created 2012-05-14 (main key ID 3D3103A7)

gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID 3B0AC177, created 2012-02-16

  "TheWizard'sApprentice"

gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit RSA key, ID 2CE214FC, created 2012-05-14

  "The Grand Wizard <[email blocked]>"

Followed by a blank line.

There is material contained within these ASCII messages but it doesn't seem to be showing up. Any idea why?

    You could please send a test message to [email blocked] encrypted for [email blocked] to test this behavior?
    Thanks!

    GPGTools Core Team List is gpgtools-org AT lists.gpgtools DOT org

    Sorry, this support platform obscures mail addresses.

    Could you send us a test mail? Pub key is in included in our installer. Should be in your GPG Keychain Access, if not re-run the GPGTools Installer and make sure to include the team key.

    All the best :)
