<p>I'll promise you, we won't fail you!<br>
But first we need some more info from you:</p>
<ul>
<li>What version of GPGTools did you install?</li>
<li>What version of OS X are you running?</li>
</ul></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/135438732012-02-09T00:02:03Z2012-02-09T00:02:03Zdecrypt button in OSX Mail does nothing, decrypting from services menus yields "decryption failed"<div><p>Hi! Thanks for the quick response! I'm rnning 10.6.8 and
installed the 12/24/2011 gpg tools.</p>
<p>I must step out for a bit now, but I'll be back. I apologize for
initiating this thread just as my boss is sending me out.</p>
<p>Thanks again,</p>
<p>Matt</p></div>Matttag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/135438732012-02-09T00:03:55Z2012-02-09T00:03:55Zdecrypt button in OSX Mail does nothing, decrypting from services menus yields "decryption failed"<div><p>Hehe, no worries. It's already pretty late here, so I'll
probably follow up tomorrow with additional debug steps.</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/135438732012-02-15T15:25:34Z2012-02-15T15:25:34Zdecrypt button in OSX Mail does nothing, decrypting from services menus yields "decryption failed"<div><p>Hey Matt,</p>
<p>thanks for your interest in our tools. I'm not sure what exactly
your problem is. To make sure you get the basics: please read the
Quickstart Tutorial linked on our startpage: <a href=
"http://www.gpgtools.org/">http://www.gpgtools.org/</a> (in the
middle black box) and consider watching the screencast. Problem is,
we describe the latest GPGMail in those documents. Please provide
all the info you have regarding your issue and fill the form from
here: <a href=

<p>Any reason why you don't want to update to 10.7? The latest
GPGMail 2.0 is currently only for 10.7 and the whole team is using
the latest OS so it's rather difficult to provide support for older
OS systems.</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/135438732012-02-21T23:18:39Z2012-02-21T23:18:39Zdecrypt button in OSX Mail does nothing, decrypting from services menus yields "decryption failed"<div><p>I have the same problem as listed above. I can send encrypted ok
but I can't decrypt once someone replies back. I'm on 10.6.8 and I
just installed the GPGTools-20111224.dmg version. I've had this
problem before and I tried the GPGFix option in the system prefs
and that didn't work either. I suppose I could try updating to 10.7
to see if that would help.</p></div>CBtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/135438732012-02-24T09:47:04Z2012-02-24T13:42:55Zdecrypt button in OSX Mail does nothing, decrypting from services menus yields "decryption failed"<div><p>Hey CB,</p>
<p>well if you really want to update to 10.7 go ahead. We'd be glad
to hear from you again. Please let us know if your problems could
be solved.</p>
<p>As for 10.6.8 I'm not sure what the problem could be. Are you
sure the sender is using the correct public key?</p>
<p>I couldn't find a key for your mail address on the key servers.
If you'd give us your public key, we could send you a test
message.</p>
<p>All the best, steve</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/135438732012-02-24T13:29:28Z2012-02-24T13:29:28Zdecrypt button in OSX Mail does nothing, decrypting from services menus yields "decryption failed"<div><p>Steve-</p>
<p>I really appreciate you following up about this.</p>
<p>I have just installed 10.7, and have some issues to work out
today before I readdress my problem with GPG and come back to ask
for your help.</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p></div>buhltag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/135438732012-02-24T13:43:41Z2012-02-24T13:43:41Zdecrypt button in OSX Mail does nothing, decrypting from services menus yields "decryption failed"<div><p>Ok, thanks for the heads-up. Looking forward to getting you

<p>Ive just installed 10.7 (was running 10.6), will try all again
and get back. Thanks a bunch for your persistence!</p>

I'm running
10.7.3 with gpg 2.0.17 (running the same version as the OP). I can
decrypt my message with gpg on the commandline but using the
services menu results in the same result as the OP.</p></div>Averytag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/135438732012-03-10T07:40:08Z2012-03-10T07:40:08Zdecrypt button in OSX Mail does nothing, decrypting from services menus yields "decryption failed"<div><p>Hey Avery. Could you try the nightly installer from here:
<a href=
"http://nightly.gpgtools.org/">http://nightly.gpgtools.org/</a>
?</p>
<p>It contains an updated MacGPG2 and the latest GPGServices. Let
us know if that helps.</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/135438732012-03-15T01:03:54Z2012-03-15T01:03:54Zdecrypt button in OSX Mail does nothing, decrypting from services menus yields "decryption failed"<div><p>OK, I just tried it. It works under some conditions, but not
always. It works if I just select the file and tell services to
decrypt the file (from the Finder).</p>
<h2>But it doesn't work when I open an encrypted file in
TextWrangler and then from Services select 'Decrypt selection'. It
also doesn't work when I use LaunchBar to select a file in the
Finder and then 'Instant Send' it to the 'Decrypt File' Services
command. In the former example, it spins for a while and then
displays: "The 'OpenPGP: Decrypt Selection' service could not be
used because the application did not respond to a request for
services. In the latter, it displays the same 'decryption failed'
notice</h2>
