Yes, it would occur on every message. Using GPGShell or GPGrelay was
fine. I do not have the International Pack installed for TB and my
(XLAT) character sets are the default that TB installs.
Generally I don't use trial versions for encryption for more than a
few hours and revert back to the last official release (1.2.5).
I do like to see if anything breaks and in this case, apparently The
Bat! does. While today, this is not a problem, my concern is that TB
keeps the pace with GPG development, so no surprises surface when the
next official GPG release comes around. This version of GPG requires
iconv.dll which I do have installed.

Yes we're getting a little OT, so this is the end of this thread
unless someone can recommend a setting tweak in TB to fix my error.
Here's a list of the changes in the last few GPG test versions:
Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.90 (2004-10-01)
-------------------------------------------------
* Readline support at all prompts is now available if the systems
provides a readline library. The build time option
--without-readline may be used to disable this feature.
* Support for the OpenPGP smartcard is now enabled by default.
Use the option --disable-card-support to build without support
for smartcards.
* New command "addcardkey" in the key edit menu to add subkeys to
a smartcard. New command "keytocard" to transfer a key to a
smartcard.
The serial number of the card is show in secret key listings.
* -K may now be used as an alias for --list-secret-keys.
* HTTP Basic authentication is now supported for all HKP and HTTP
keyserver functions, either through a proxy or via direct
access.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.91 (2004-10-15)
-------------------------------------------------
* A new configure option --enable-selinux-support disallows
processing of confidential files used by gpg (e.g. secring.gpg).
This helps writing ACLs for the SELinux kernel.
* Support for fetching keys via finger has been added. This is
useful for setting a preferred keyserver URL like
"finger:wk at g10code.com".
* Timeout support has been added to the keyserver helpers. This
allows users to set an upper limit on how long to wait for the
keyserver before giving up.
* New "direct" trust model where users can set key validity
directly if they do not want to participate in the web of trust.
* Minor bug fixes, code and string cleanups.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.92 (2004-10-28)
-------------------------------------------------
* Added Russian man page. Thanks to Pawel I. Shajdo.
* libiconv is now used to support other character sets other than
UTF-8, Latin-1,-2 and KOI8-2. The W32 version will only work
correctly when iconv.dll is installed on the system. A binary
version is available at all GNU mirror sites under libiconv.
* gettext for Windows has been simplified. The MO files are now
distributed UTF-8 encoded and gpg translates on the fly.
