When trying to sign or encrypt an message under
Entourage 2004 a message box appears after the mantra
dialoge stating:

TEC OSAX had an error:
kTECNoConversionPathErr

When trying to decrypt a message under Entourage 2004 a
message box appears after the mantra dialoge stating:

ls:
/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TempraryItems/EntourageGPG
Temp/Messages/148771: No such file or directory

This is all under MacOS X 10.4.2

    I think, 'kTECNoConversionPathErr' may be caused by
    'Unicode-1-1-UTF-8' strings in EntourageGPG's AppleScripts.
    I changed them to 'UTF-8'.

    ( But, I found another problem. Is EntourageGPG compatible
    with international charsets ? )

    I saw a folder called "503" in that /private/var/tmp that had
    TemporararyItems....

    This worked for me.

    Please, could you describe, WHERE you changed the UTF ...?
    Which script, which path? I'd appreciate that!

    Items/EntourageGPG/

    Replace it globally. MacOS X 10.4.5 also.

    The no such file or directory error seems to be related to the following line:

    Common's MUAOutputDecryptInWindow(blurbText, decryptedText, theMessage,
    lstrings)

    theMessage variable is set to the number you see at the end of the error.

    Go to /Users/username/Library/Application Support/EntourageGPG and find
    the file called "common.incl".

    set fileExists to do shell script "ls '" & POSIX path of fileLocation & "'"
    if fileExists is "" or fileExists contains "No such file or directory" then
    set fp to open for access file fileLocation with write permission
    set eof fp to 0
    write windowContents to fp
    close access fp
    end if

    The output of the ls command on the first line above isn't being captured by
    the script. The bad way around this is to remove the checking. i.e. comment
    out or remove the first two lines and the last line above. The better way
    would be to figure out why the script isn't processing the error like it is
    supposed to.
