I'm glad you found it helpful. :)

And there is that functionality.

There's something else wrong since while using GPG and TB! I verified,
decrypted, signed and encrypted messages without problems.

That's PGP/MIME and the current release version of TB! doesn't support
this. However, the current TB! betas do.

All my messages to this list are signed with an inline signature and are
verifiable using the current TB! version you're using and GPG.

You shouldn't need to do this once you have the plug-in working as it
should. You say you get the same error when using GPG from outside TB!
which makes me wonder if GPG is correctly installed on your system.

Have you tried GPG Shell?
