PGP & Unable to Open Attachments without extracting!

  • 1.  PGP & Unable to Open Attachments without extracting!

    Hello,

    I have PGP desktop installed on my pc.  Recently my profile became corrupt and I had to create a new one.  I have been able to create a new one and import my keys.

    I now have a problem.  Previously when I double clicked on an attachment in an email I was asked to enter my pass-phrase, this would then unlock the document and make it available to opening via the email.

    Now when I double click on the attachment I am asked to enter my pass-phrase, PGP Desktop then opens & I have right-click on the document, extract & save before I can open it. 

    Even after doing this the attachment in the email will appears as encrypted.

    Can you please advise on how I can get it to operate / open attachments are it did before my new profile was created?

    Thanks,

    Helen.
