Seems to to be a new problem when mac went to 10.12. I'm using postbox and enigmail 1.2.3 which appears to be the latest although I see for other clients that there are newer versions. GPG on the system /usr/local/MCGPG2/bin/gpg2 (gpg (GnuPG/MacGPG2) 2.0.30). On decrypting I just get a spinning wheel and the message is never decrypted. I've also tried downloading and decrypting as a file but he images are stripped.However on my iphone I can send the same message to IPGmail and the images are retained, so I know it is not on the senders end.
Please help!
Thanks
Here is what shows up in the debug file after a failed decryption

I'm sorry, we can't help you much. Postbox is partly closed source and changes to the Postbox compatible Enigmail are unknown.
When you say that upgrading to Mac OS Sierra broke your setup, then please keep to Postbox support. Do you use Postbox 3 or 4? Maybe upgrading to 5.x will fix things for you.
OK Thanks, I'm at postbox 5. I will contact them and see what might fix this issue.
