A simple PGP-inline (Content-Type: text/plain) email containing one pass signed and encrypted PGP body is not showing the decrypted content when we have entered the correct decryption key password but a suitable signature verification public key is missing!

Instead "Error - decryption failed" is shown.

This was working fine (the decrypted data was displayed) in Enigmail plugin version 1.6.

    I'm sorry, but due to security reasons, Enigmail will not display emails anymore if GnuPG reports "Decryption failed".

    From what I can tell, GnuPG reports that the public key 0x6AF7C0E016F388C7 is missing to verify the signature. You will need to import that key into your keyring.
