using gpg for windows Kleopatra won't decrypt files when unknown recipients exist (ie. i don't have the certificates for every recipient.) However, pgp in debian linux will decrypt the same file whether unknown recipients exist or not. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Encrypt a file with multiple certificates/recipients 2. Send the file to a recipient that doesn't have everyone's certificate, only the encrypter's. 3. The recipient tires to decrypt. Actual Results: decryption failed: unknown recipients Expected Results: decrypt the file even though unknown recipients exist. this is totally crippling because a recipient doesn't always have everyone's certs. Plus decryption works in pgp for linux without needing to have everyone's certs. I put critical below because this problem causes me to be unable to retrieve data that is very sensitive and critical.
As a workaround you can use gpg from the command line which should behave in the same way as it does on GNU/Linux systems. Is this happening with S/MIME or OpenPGP or both?
I have the same problem now. Can not decrypt a file from a customer company just because the company needs to include its agent's key to this file, and I don't have this agent's key. Can't believe that I'm using the most updated version but still have this old bug. OS: Windows 7, GPG4win: version 2.2.6 Kleopatra: version 2.2.0-git49bbf03
