<p>when dealing with OpenPGP messasges in .asc format there is the
problem that asc can be both: an encrypted message or a key. There
is no way of knowing until the included data is looked at. So
here's what we did: you can define a default application to open
this with. If the default application to open asc files is GPG
Keychain, that app will open. If we detect that the data included
is not a key, the data will be forwarded to GPGServices which will
then attempt to decrypt.</p>
<p>Is this not working as described for you?</p>
<p>All the best,<br>

<p>This works.</p>

<p>This does not work, and has not worked for me for at least the
last few versions of Mac GPG.</p></div>Timtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/416996672017-01-21T21:50:25Z2017-01-21T21:50:25ZGPG Keychain: ".asc" files are assumed to be keys<div><p>Hey Tim,</p>
<p>thanks for the feedback. So what happens for you? In my test,
the message indeed was forwarded to GPGServices. But instead of
decrypting it, GPGServices tried to verify and that was not a good
idea for an encrypted messege.</p>
<p>GPGServices should be content aware and make appropriate
decisions depending on that info. But that needs some dev time and
love first. It is not implemented at the moment.</p>
<p>We have a ticket for this problem. I connected this discussion
with the existing ticket. That means, should this discussion get
closed, it will be re-opened as soon as the ticket is closed. That
way you'll stay in the loop and get notified as soon as we have
news. Feel free to open a new discussions should you run into
further problems or need assistance.</p>
<p>Best,<br>
