Uhm, I suppose I wasn't clear.  I meant that I'm able to decrypt
messages in GPG which I encrypted in PGP and that I'm also able to
decrypt messages in PGP that I encrypted in GPG.

For this, I need the GPG public key in PGP and the PGP public key in
GPG.

Never doubted that.  It's just, that I cannot check it right now.  I
send the message from work, and now I don't work :)

What does make you think that I lack understanding?  Just because I did
not understand a confusingly unclear error message of PGP?
