The included message block decrypts nicely here, using "gpg --cipher-algo cast5 nokia.htm.asc" with the official 1.0.6 Windows = build. If I don't include the algo option, it fails in this manner:
| bash-2.04$ gpg -v nokia.htm.asc
| gpg: armor header: Version: 2.6.3ia-multi04
| gpg: BLOWFISH encrypted data
| gpg: decryption failed: bad key
My options file isn't spectacular:
| load-extension c:/gnupg/idea/idea.dll
| #load-extension rsa
| encrypt-to 0x3677C30E
Why does Johan seem to have troble getting gpg to detect the digest=20 algo whereas the cipher algo seems to be the problem here? Tsch=FC=DF, Ralf
