I got my friend to install WinPT which seems to include GnuPG. He created his
keypair. He received my key and signed my key. He sent me my key back and he
also sent me his key which I then signed and sent back to him. So far, so good.

When he tried to send me a test message that was encrypted and signed, I had a
problem.

gpg command line and output:,/usr/bin/gpg2 --charset utf8  --batch --no-tty
- --status-fd 2 -d --use-agent ,gpg: CRC error; 75B297 - DC375B,gpg: quoted
printable character in armor - probably a buggy MTA has been used

I then took the message and put it in its own file and re-ran the command:

/usr/bin/gpg2 --charset utf8  --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 -d \
	--use-agent < msg

Here's the output:

Is there something obvious that he needs to do? Does he have to send 7-bit
ASCII? I'm not sure how to proceed.

TIA
