decrypt failed - secret key unavailable

[Frank Calfo]

Sounds to me like they did not encrypt their messages to you using your 
public key; they may have mistakenly encrypted it using their own public 
key - usually this message is accompanied with the id of the key that the 
message was encrypted with, if you see this you could make sure that the 
key identified is your public key

Otherwise, it may be that the technique you are using to decrypt the 
message is not supplying the correct passphrase for your keystore (assuming 
your keystore is passphrase protected)  - so you could also check to make 
sure that you are supplying the correct keystore passphrase when you're 
decrypting the message
