Messages always decrypted, no prompt for password
I'm helping a friend (OS X 10.7.4, GPGTools latest, GPGMail latest nightly) who is seeing all her encrypted mails readable, unencrypted, with no prompt for the decryption passphrase. Previously everything was normal for her, and this just recently began happening.
I uninstalled and reinstalled GPGTools and the GPGMail nightly. No change.
Then I started looking around the folders on her Mac. There is no "Bundles" folder... Very odd. I uninstalled again, then reinstalled and checked. Same encryption behavior described above and still no Bundles folder! I think I'm looking in the right place (~/Library/Mail/ ) What could be going on here? Thanks a lot.

Hi Lee,
to remove the bundle it's best to check /Library/Mail/Bundles as well.
We chose to default to use multi-user installs a while ago, since we've got a lot of requests for that.
Otherwise, the automated decryption is perfectly normal behavior, but it most likely means, that the passphrase is stored in Apple's Keychain Access.
In order to find out and optionally remove the passphrase, simply open Keychain Access (not to be confused with GPG Keychain Access) and search for Gnupg
Remove any entries you find and log out and back in.
After that you should be asked for the passphrase again.
Hope that helps.
