Which of our tools is giving you problems?

gpgtools

Attach a screenshot of the version info for all installed components (how to: https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/faq/where-can-i-find-version-info...):

Describe your problem. Add as much detail as possible.

'error code 0', also 'import fails' splash screens appear sporadically.

varying results, over a number of days installing/re-istalling
[post being told of verifying requirement [other] softwares for a project]

seem to be struggling todate installing the verifying software [gpgtools] ; the process tho, intrigues me to learn and seems more interesting than the project atm

*very new to verification process, please pardon my ineptitude [have to say intriguing process], im autistic ;fr me this means may take some time to process /communicate, focus variable bcos this at the time of writing ..

*basically, new-to-me stuff appears to require somebody to 'tell me like im five' in some instances,

-`thank you for your patience.

What did you expect instead

verified .sig

Describe steps leading to the problem.

Are you using any other Mail.app plugins?

No,
also, intents with gpgtools is to verify software, not installed the mail plugin app
