Receiving invalid packet errors when decryption Ascii Armored data

[Seidl, Scott]

No, I haven't done that.  What is the command for doing that (I assume cksum will work)?

Also, assuming the checksums match, what would the next steps be?

Thanks

I've seen this with Binary (non- ASCII armored) files.

Have you and the vendor compared checksums on the ASCII-armored files to
confirm that the files that you sent and the files that they received
are identical?

You wouldn't send all of your mail written on the back of postcards
would you?  Then why would you send your e-mail the same way?
