Alright, so how do I decrypt it by hand via GPG? All attempts to decrypt/verify emails sent from GMail using FireGPG have failed. Even if the mail is sent to another GMail account, without FireGPG and only gpg, I haven't figured out how to decrypt/verify it. In the context of just verifying an email, looking at the original message has proved useless. I see the base64 encoded message. I've decoded it, but the signature doesn't match the content, according to command-line gpg.

So the encrypted/signed content of a GMail message from FireGPG is only decryptable/verifiable via FireGPG?

Topic: Decrypting outside of GMail (5 replies, posted in Bugs & problems)
So I sent an email with GMail to a friend of mine who doesn't use GMail. How can he decrypt/verify my email? This question entails all (decrypt & verify), verify, and/or decrypt.
(Decrypt & Verify) & Decrypt
=================
There is an attachment called noname. Selecting the PGP block and running it through GPG yields nothing. I've tried it myself like this.
$ gpg -d
<Paste PGP block>
Prompt for passphrase: <passphrase>
GPG then shows me a list of keys it was encrypted with, but doesn't display the message.
Verify
====
How can you verify the email when the signature is in an attachment?
I know some of these questions might be related to my lack of gpg-fu, but I've spent a good amount of time reading the man page and nothing seems to help.
TIA

I don't understand, this was all tested with FireGPG, nothing was taken to an editor or the console.

Re: Sign and encrypt (6 replies, posted in Bugs & problems)
glu i did what you said and i'm having some strange issues. i sign a piece of text, then i encrypt it. it decrypts just fine, but the decrypted text that shows up in the popup window doesn't verify. but if i copy the decrypted text back into the gmail window, hightlight it and select verify from the alternate menu, it verifies.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Write some text
2. Sign it
3. Encrypt it
4. Decrypt it into a popup window
5. Verify in popup window (should fail)
6. Copy back into gmail compose screen
7. Verify from alternate menu (should pass)
Here is the data, content is in {}

Re: Gmail word wrap issue. (11 replies, posted in Bugs & problems)
i've noticed that if i take a message that was sent to me and copy the whole thing. then if i remove the newlines gmail added to wordwrap, the signature passes perfectly. like i said before, it seems that gmail adds "\n" during transmission when the text wraps.
ie:
Original text:
"Some text here to make lots of space...and then some more and more. Lalalalala, I"m just making a big long ling"
"Gmail'ed" text:
"Some text here to make lots of space...and
then some more and more. Lalalalala, I"m
just making a big long ling"
By removing the hard '\n' from the latter text and making it like the former, the signature passes. Which suggest that FireGPG does fine in signing and verifying, it's just that the text actually gets modified. And thus, like the signature verification process is supposed to do, it tells you it doesn't pass and was modified

Re: Unable to verify a message (7 replies, posted in Bugs & problems)
i believe some of the verification issues are related to word wrapping. it seems as though gmail actually adds newlines to the text.
