<p>I've gone through all of the threads regarding this issue but
can't seem to get working. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.</p>
<p>After upgrading to Lion, I was no longer able to decrypt in mail
(it would spin with the "Loading..." message but never decrypt) and
I couldn't encrypt (greyed out lock). Based on some of your other
suggestions, I downloaded the new bundle (<a href=
"http://cl.ly/1F1d1e231N1I0X2F1r10">http://cl.ly/1F1d1e231N1I0X2F1r10</a>)
and installed it. That fixed the decrypting problem beautifully but
not the encrypting one.</p>
<p>I can use the services menu fine and encrypt inside a text file,
but it doesn't seem to recognize the email addresses as known keys.
What can I do to troubleshoot?</p>
<p>Thanks for all your work.</p></div>Mattag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/122105562011-12-19T17:56:50Z2011-12-19T17:56:50ZIssues with encrypting in mail.app<div><p>You can only encrypt to e-mailaddresses you have the valid
public keys for. Is it possible for you to send an encrypted mail
to<br>
gpgtools-org (at) lists.gpgtools.org?</p></div>Alextag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/122105562011-12-19T18:01:33Z2011-12-19T18:01:33ZIssues with encrypting in mail.app<div><p>Hey Alex, thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm a long time user and
understand<br>
the fundamentals - the keys are all there, it's simply broken after
I<br>
upgraded.</p>
<p>Here's a screenshot</p></div>Mat Henleytag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/122105562011-12-19T18:05:43Z2011-12-19T18:05:43ZIssues with encrypting in mail.app<div><p>Hi Mat,</p>
<p>please verify that your Preferences -> GPGMail says<br>
Composing -> Enable OpenPGP/MIME</p>
<p>I can see from your screenshot that it wants to use S/MIME.</p>
<p>At the moment you have to change this setting before using
S/MIME or OpenPGP.<br>
The upcoming version will let you switch from the composing
window.</p>
<p>Hope that helps</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/122105562011-12-19T18:06:48Z2011-12-19T18:06:48ZIssues with encrypting in mail.app<div><p>Interesting. Good screenshot. What happens if you try to encrypt
a file via command line?</p>
<ol>
<li>Open Terminal.app</li>
<li>cd, enter</li>
<li>echo test > testfile.txt, enter</li>
<li>gpg -ae testfile.txt, enter</li>
<li>gpgtools-org, enter</li>

<li>gpg testfile.txt.asc</li>

S/MIME is being used...</p></div>Alextag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/122105562011-12-19T18:36:02Z2011-12-19T18:36:02ZIssues with encrypting in mail.app<div><p>That did it!
