You get the error when you *send* a message, or when you *verify* a
message?

What happens if you remove the 'digest-algo RIPEMD160' line from
gpg.conf?

I see also that you are using The Bat! v3.0.9.9.  That version is a
pre-beta that came out yesterday.  You're not the first person who is
reporting this error with The Bat! so I'm wondering if the Bat folks
changed something internally.
