I think it is appreciated if you actually describe the problem on the
mailing list itself rather than only linking to a website. And you're
also losing those people who would have read the mail and had an idea
but can't be bothered to chase the link.

Please provide error messages and other exact output, that gives
people more insight than "for some others no private key could be
found". And since it also happens at the command line (that's good! It
makes including everything easier), you could add -vv for verbosity or
even --debug-flags to dig deeper into the problematic encryptions.

Peter.
