MacGPG2 #148: Decryption failed with unknown error
GPGMail 2.5b6
Cannot decrypt messages from drafts. Saved draft messages appear with no content and I get a "decryption failed with unknown error" bar. When I click on "details" I get the following:
An unknown error occurred while decrypting this message.
GPG error message:
gpg: problem with the agent: No pinentry
gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit RSA key, ID 05B2E47D, created
2015-03-11
"Dimitris Fekas [email blocked]" gpg: public key
decryption failed: Operation cancelled
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

This started happening to me just now. Same version. I hadn't updated GPGTools. I hadn't restarted Mail.app.

Hi dimi and James,
thanks for taking the time to report this problem. It is a known issue and I have connected this discussion with the existing ticket. We have yet to find out, what exactly is causing this, but assume it is related to sleep / wake behavior of the mac. Are you using sleep mode?
The workaround is, to simply restart your mac and you should be back in working state.
We'll update this discussion as soon as we have news about this issue.
If you have not already done so, please do update to the latest GPG Suite 2015.06 stable release (from our website).
All the best,
steve
