PGP keychain and works fine. Could it be that the PGP public key is
not in the correct format? You can try and generate a fake one and
try to import that</p>

Do you first save it as a text though? How do you save it as .asc?
I have generated a fake key, and it is the same problem...</p></div>Antontag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/361900822015-03-04T01:16:42Z2015-03-04T01:16:42Zimporting public key<div><p>Issue resolved! Just had to save the public key text block in
.rtf format, and everything works!!! :)</p></div>Antontag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/361900822015-03-14T17:59:03Z2015-03-14T17:59:03Zimporting public key<div><p>Hi Anton,</p>
<p>in general it's a bad idea to store a public key as docx or rtf
file. Please use .txt instead and that should prevent a lot of
issues which you will be seeing otherwise.</p>
