Okay, it is 0.4.3, so my next guess is that it is a problem with zlib.
can you try to do create the message with "-z 0"?

As I said in my first letter, it's a file created with pgp5
so I think you misunderstood me. Am I right ?

From my first post:
| I see this error messages while trying to decrypt
| a text file (Mailbox), encrypted with pgp5:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Alright. So I'm now pretty sure that it is a problem with zlib -
If you run gpg with "-vv" it should tell you some more about the
structure of the gpg packet; run it and send it to me.

Yet it is a problem with zlib - we have to see how to fix it.

Thanks.

werner

just wanted to report that 0.4.4 doesn't fix
this "invalid packet" problem...
