No secret key on 1 file

[Steven Bonda]

I did a lot of research and digging and was finally able to get the file to
decrypt:

c:\temp>gpg2 --batch --try-all-secrets --passphrase pass -o temp.txt -d
temp.txt.pgp
gpg: anonymous recipient; trying secret key A328FC0E ...
gpg: WARNING: cipher algorithm IDEA not found in recipient preferences
gpg: okay, we are the anonymous recipient.
gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID 727A253D
gpg: old style (PGP 2.x) signature
gpg: Signature made 08/15/13 03:31:01 Eastern Daylight Time using DSA key ID
C0649AF6
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key
gpg: WARNING: message was not integrity protected

c:\temp>

fwiw, I'd welcome any information on what happened just because I'd like to
know what happened.

Maybe this helps someone in the future.

Thanks for all the help.

Please check thenoutput of 

  gpg2 -v -K 727A253D

If you can't see the reason, you may want to

  gpg2 -v --edit-key 727A253D

to see some more details.
