Thanks for your explanation, Vincent.
I figured out why I ran into this problem: For testing with BouncyCastle
I added "disable-mdc" to my gpg.conf ...

But this does not solve the inconsistency in "showing an error and still
return decrypted data" I see when MDC is missing. Maybe someone can
explain this to me? :)


Thanks in advance
