Hello Newton,

without an error message about GnuPG? Than it works :)
Is "GnuPG" in the about dialog?

No, decrypting/verifying does sylpheed automatically for PGP/MIME
messages, for PGP-Inline messages you can add a user defined action
*gpg --no-tty --command-fd 0 --passphrase-fd 0 --decrypt %f|
under settings/actions and an icon for the toolbar, read the docs in the
source for more examples.
You can find the more general GnuPG settings in the settings/general
settings/private menu and for signing/encryption in the
'private' tab of the account settings (which key, ascii armored etc.)
You sign and/or encrypt in the message window over the 'message' menu
Read the FAQ (help menu>FAQ) and the docs (see above), they are very
useful for the daily work with sylpheed :)

No ;o)
