gpg CRC error in Validate your GPG Key email

Uhm, as the message suggest, it is probably related to your MTA or mail reader, I can't see how to help you to solve this. I'd suggest you to forward me the email, but I can't do much about this either, except inspect the crypted message formatting. So, send me anyway, let's see how it looks.

So, what `gpg` says was confirmed (what a surprise ?!), you've used the raw email message and it contains 'quoted printable' characters. The following python code can decode it:

{{{
>>> import email
>>> msg = email.message_from_string(raw_msg)
>>> body = msg.get_payload(decode=True)
}}}

`body` should contain the correct __decoded__ content.
Do not save the message, simply copy&paste the content redered by gmail, I suspect it will work.

Not using the raw email worked. I copied just the encrypted content(from within gmail's web ui) to a file and decrypted it. It does appear to be a issue with the way gmail is handling the email. Sorry for the noise, thanks for the help. My gpg key is now in launchpad and useable :)

I just signed up and had the same Issue

-----END PGP MESSAGE-----

This shows the last part of the message, The "=tD9k" looked fishy to me, so I removed it, and then I no longer got a CRC error and was able to decrypt the message.
