Everything was working fine in the previous version of the beta, but I can no longer read email messages that were GPG encrypted by co-workers. Everyone else on my team that has upgraded has the same problem. I am running Mac OS Sierra (10.12.4), Mail Version 10.3, GPG Suite 2017.1b3.
I am able to send GPG encrypted emails still.

Expected
I should be able to decrypt and read emails that were GPG encrypted by co-workers.
Instead of seeing a decrypted message and attachments I see Version.txt and Message.

macOS           10.12.4     16E195

   Geoffrey, can you please send yourself an encrypted + signed test message. Are you able to decrypt the incoming message and verify the signature?

   Ok, I couldn’t wait until tomorrow :-) , so I tried sending myself an encrypted message.
   I was able to send, but not able to decrypt.
   This is what I see:

   Oh I should mention this was done with my work email (exchange server), which is the one tied to the key, and not my google account.

   Ok, that's an important info. MS exchange manipulates, for unknown reasons, sent mails. That causes all sorts of issues for OpenPGP usage.

   Could you please download and install our latest GPG Suite nightly build and see if the problem persists. That page also has sig and SHA256 to verify the download.

   All the best,

   Hi Steve,
   Things are working again for me after installing the latest nightly build. Hopefully my coworkers will have the same experience (I'll let you know otherwise).
   Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it.

   Geoffrey, it's good to hear that the fixes done recently indeed do solve the known MS exchange issues.

   Keep us posted if more trouble should arise.

   Have a great day,
   steve
