[mew-int 2143] Re: old styp pgp not working

[Axel Rossberg]

Dear Kazu,

thank you for your help.  The problem was in fact that the secret key
was not available.  I was confused, because other kinds of decryption
were working, but that had a different reason.  Now everything is OK.

Sorry for the noise!

Axel
