I also use PGP Desktop 9.8.1 (Build 2.5.3), Macintosh.
I correspond with some one who also uses the same application, and
decrypt his messages with gpg and/or gpg2.

To use gpg to decrypt such messages, it all depends on what MUA and
operating system you are using.

The message you posted to the list was composed in
X-Mailer: YahooMailRC/902.40 YahooMailWebService/0.7.185

I am not familiar with that mailer. Does it have a plug-in that enables
it to communicate with GnuPG? If you are running some flavor of Windows,
I believe there is something called PGP Tray (or similar) that night
enable you to process messages with GnuPG in your mailer's message window.

A Google search with Yahoomail Web GnuPG brought up a number of links
that you can check at:

Check according to your operating system.


I use, here, Thunderbird+Enigmail. Enigmail enables Thunderbird to
interact with GnuPG. When I receive a message from the person who uses
PGP 9.8.1, Thunderbird+Enigmail processes it as any other encrypted,
signed, or signed and encrypted message; I use either icons in the tool
bar, or commands from the Menu.
