with the public key for the current recepients. If they are not

found in your local pc keyring a error message will be displayed.

If no recepients or message is enterd a error message will be

displayed.

Decrypting a message :

Start of by clicking a email thread , this will show all mails

in that thread. Below each mail in the a Decrypt message link

will be shown.

Clicking the link will prompt you for your passphrase with

which to decrypt the message, a error will be show if no

valid gpg data can be found or if the passphrase is incorrect.
