I am new to this service and am having trouble decrypting the first encrypted attachment that has been sent to me. I shared my public key with the counterparty and they responded with an encrypted text attachment just to make sure I know how to do it, but the options Detach, Delete, Import pgp Key, Decrypt and Open, Decrypt and Save, and Verify Signature are all "greyed out" and unavailable.
I am using GPG Suite and Enigmail on a Mac and have already sent and received encrypted emails with this person that did not include attachments successfully. Also, new to this generally (if it wasn't already obvious).
Any help would me much appreciated as I think I must be doing some little thing wrong and I'm almost there.
Regards

Your description makes me believe that the message was encrypted as a whole (a so-called PGP/MIME message). In other words the attachments don't need to be decrypted manually, you can simply open them just as if the mail was not encrypted at all.
