Hi

To reply to my own message but (hopefully) help others. The problem is the mime types. I've added processing for the Yahoo to decode:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

and then decrypted and this seems to work...apparently the web mail setups have different ways of dealing with this data and (probably) I'll be forced to choose some kind of allowable subset, since I'm decrypting with a script that I'd like to keep fairly simple...

Best regards Hugh

First of all, big thank you for this, it's well described and great. Sorry about the length of the post and, also, I'm pretty new to GPG, PGP.

I'm sending signed and encrypted emails to a server script that uses the Perl GPG module to decrypt them. This seems fine for Googlemail, so far:. I've removed the text 'PGP' from the encryption banners so that the code box will display the encrypted blocks.

This is not decrypted by the Perl script:

    GnuPG::abort_gnupg('GnuPG=HASH(0x8374a9c)', 'protocol error: expected ENC_TO got NODATA: \x{a}') called at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/GnuPG.pm line 722

    GnuPG::decrypt('GnuPG=HASH(0x8374a9c)', 'ciphertext', 'mail.txt', 'output', 'decrypt.txt', 'passphrase', 'xxxx') called at ./popmailtest.cgi line 89

The mime headers are different on each of these...also I'mnot sure whether I'm doing the right thing to sign and encrypt the body? For example I don't see any evidence of signature verification during the decrypt process, even though I've got 'sign' selected for Gmail.
