pgp was a pain in the ass. It literally took me an hour to figure it out. I'm not even positive if I got it right, well, if my package arrives I guess I did.

on osx I had to find an older version of the software to make it work.

So you're trying to decrypt a message you sent to a vendor? Did you specify yourself as a recipient when the "choose recipient" box came up?

Mac PGP is an absolute bitch.

Did you encode it using the vendors public key?

yes. Some vendors are able to decrypt my message while some are not. In the program there seems to be no variable indicative of this error, rather it appears random, thus making it all the more confusing. has anyone ran into this problem?
