<p>could you please download and install our <a href="https://hotfixes.gpgtools.org/">latest hotfix GPG Suite</a> and see if that solves your problem.</p>
<p>Also restart your mac and see if that changes anything for the better or worse.</p>
<p>Are you using any additional plugins in Mail.app? Are all messages affected or only some?</p>
<p>All the best,<br>
steve</p>
<p>Disclaimer: This is a development version which has not been thoroughly tested yet - bugs or crashes are to be expected. Thanks for helping us test.</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/448975962018-03-19T10:49:05Z2018-03-19T10:49:05ZGPGMail: Unable to read messages, only a white block appears - fixed when gpg is plug-in disabled<div><p>Hi Steve,</p>
<p>It seems to have solved it.</p>
<p>Prior to installing it, most new emails that had pgp encryption would just show an empty blank space where the content should be, I’m guessing as it could not load the message.</p>
<p>I do use another plug in, called mailbutler.</p>
<p>At times I have this issue with older pgp emails from specific domains, but as I write this, I have tested them. The majority load with some random ones showing up with the wrong signature and thus unable to load. But fixed most.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>sounds much better. I am not sure I get the part about wrong signature emails and messages not loading. Do you mean the signatures are invalid? Or in what way are they wrong? Even messages with invalid signatures should load.</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/448975962018-04-03T15:41:03Z2018-04-03T15:41:03ZGPGMail: Unable to read messages, only a white block appears - fixed when gpg is plug-in disabled<div><p>Hi Steve,</p>
<p>It seems this error comes back randomly, my mac mail will freeze at least twice a day and I have to force quit. When reopening the application, the messages I had on-screen reopen, and if they were encrypted, a white space will be there. To solve, I have to disable, quit, enable, quit, reopen, and this will be working again.</p>
<p>I am beginning to wonder if there's an error being caused by another plugin I use, in conjunction will GPGtools - and regular mac mail crashing. The other plugin is called mail butler.</p>
<p>Any recommendations on how to log and debug this?</p>
<p>thanks,</p></div>acm.mobiletag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/448975962018-04-04T23:02:39Z2018-04-04T23:02:39ZGPGMail: Unable to read messages, only a white block appears - fixed when gpg is plug-in disabled<div><p>There's three things you can do here to help us get to the root of this problem:</p>
<ol>
