Description Mel 2017-03-11 01:58:39 UTC 
I just upgraded OS using distribution repo.

   Checked that all pgp plugins were installed, and
that all pgp programs were also installed.

   I shut down Claws-Mail, and then relaunched to see
if it made any difference....Nope.

   With both the plugins, and necessary encription
programs all properly installed...don't understand
wht Claws-Mail is not talking with encrption programs ?

   Claws-Mail worked perfectly before upgrading ?

   Is there some where I can check ?

   I also wnet into preferences/GPG, and added path
to the /usr/bin/gpg

   All my critical passwords are encrypted !

Any warnings or error messages produced, or other diagnostic information?

Start with `claws-mail --debug` and look there.

What versions did you upgrade from and to?

Does GnuPG work from the commandline?

Shouldn't this have been reported on the debian bug tracker instead?

   Finally got it to decrypt, but not sure which thing I did corrected the problem.

(1) Unload & reloaded the claws-mail pgp plugins.

(2) Went into claws-mail preferences/GPG, checked automatic, then checked
    use gpg-agent & grab input, checked display warning on startup.

(3) Left path to gnupg executable blank.
