Mac OS X: 10.10.2 (14C109)
MacGPG2: 2.0.26b5, 791b (tried nightly)
GPG Keychain: 1.2b5, 1010b
GPGServices: 1.10b5, 760b
GPGPreferences: 1.5b5, 761b
GPGMail: 2.5b5, 891b

When trying to send a signed mail, I get the following error message:

Unfortunately we can't handle the error at this point.


Should your problem persist, please contact us at http://support.gpgtools.org with the following error description:


gpg: problem with the agent: Unknown option gpg: skipped "548301AF478FC5D10654BFBBC9CF96627C3B6E42": Operation cancelled gpg: signing failed: Operation cancelled

I tried the nightly versions, a reinstall and restart. I uninstalled gnugp2 from Homebrew.

When sending the mail just with encryption to myself, I get the following error when I try to read it:

An unknown error occurred while decrypting this message.

GPG error message:
gpg: problem with the agent: Unknown option
gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit RSA key, ID <removed>, created <removed>
gpg: public key decryption failed: Operation cancelled
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

Please contact us, including the GPG error message, at http://support.gpgtools.org

    Hi Jannik,

    could you please post the contents of your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file?

    Thanks.
