Problem with GPG Keychain Access after Upgrading to Mac OS 10.8

I like to e-mail various information and reminders to myself. After having installed GPG Keychain Access, I enjoyed the fact that these were encrypted. Now that I have updated to Mac OS 10.8, I see that Apple Mail is no longer automatically decrypting my old archived messages. However, new messages (sent after the upgrade) seem to be fine. Is there a fix for this so that I can access the old e-mails? Thank you.

    Hey Robert,

    we've now a huge banner on our starting page, stating the current incompatibility of GPGMail and 10.8. https://www.gpgtools.org/

    There is no fix, yet, but we're working on one.

    Since the GPGMail plug-in will get disabled by OS X once you start mail-app, I assume the new mails you've sent to yourself, simply were not encrypted at all, thus not the issue of decrypting them.

    As a work-around for the time being let me suggest
    1) GPGServices, to do the decryption (you'd have to past the mail to textedit for that)
    2) Thunderbird with the enigmail plug-in

    Hope this helps,
    steve
