No, that's not not an unencrypted message. That is an *encrypted* message. The bits between the "BEGIN PGP MESSAGE" and "END PGP MESSAGE" is the encrypted message in ASCII. That is how it is transmitted in the email. If you want to be pedantic, I think a more accurate description would be it's undecrypted. It may seem to be nitpicking, but saying that it's unencrypted implies that the message was in plain text - i.e. you could see the decrypted content. BTW, putting that segment of a PGP encryption in your email causes problems - my Evolution tried to decrypt it because it thought it looked exactly like a PGP part of the message. > What I am looking for is to be able to open the email message as a > normal email without the prompt for a passphrase.

GPG is such a fundamental aspect of lots of encryption on Linux that my system won't even let me remove it and renaming the binary would break lots of things. One thing that comes to mind is that there is a dconf key /org/gnome/evolution-data-server/camel-gpg-binary you could try setting that to something like /bin/false: dconf write /org/gnome/evolution-data-server/camel-gpg-binary "'/bin/false'" Hopefully then it will try to run the program to decrypt the message and fail. CAVEAT - in big letters. I haven't tried this, I don't use GPG. Playing with dconf can get you into trouble. Check what you type and don't try and do anything totally outrageous. You can make things unusable with dconf. If you don't know what you are doing, don't do it.
