you can always sign up for yahoo's pop service (no additional fee, just an
annoying email - spam-like - from yahoo every week or month - i can't
remember..)  Then you could use outlook or something to decrypt/encrypt.

check out your yahoo mail account options for how to set up pop..

}1) Since you use Yahoo-Mail, you cannot use an eMail Programm to download the
}mail, right? OK, then you don`t have any other choice but to copy and paste the
}encrypted message to an textfile (like in notepad)
}
}2)  Same procedure as in 1) Copy-paste-notepad....and then you can import the
}key without any problem

}3) Yes, copy the whole text into a file and then you can compare the
}fingerprints with the fingerprints published on keyservers or you compare it
}directly with the owner of the key!
