Clicking the button will encrypt the message that you are typing with the public key for the current recepients. If they are not found in your local pc keyring a error message will be displayed.

If no recepients or message is enterd a error message will be displayed.

Decrypting a message : Start of by clicking a email thread , this will show all mails in that thread. Below each mail in the a Decrypt message link will be shown.

Clicking the link will prompt you for your passphrase with which to decrypt the message, a error will be show if no valid gpg data can be found or if the passphrase is incorrect.
