Change Details

When one tries to decrypt a file which is not encrypted to any of the keys in their keyring, they get the message: "Decryption failed: No secret key" and on the next line e.t. "One unknown recipient" or "Recipient: Some UID": {F14076436} The Audit log shows: ``` gpg: verschlüsselt mit RSA Schlüssel, ID CD573B2B0736643A gpg: Entschlüsselung fehlgeschlagen: Kein geheimer Schlüssel ``` As some users seem not to understand this, I propose to add some text on the condition that the error message is "No secret key". Suggestion for the additional sentence: "This means that the data you want to decrypt was not encrypted to any of the keys in your keyring." (or possibly in your certificate list) And possibly an additional sentence, too? Or maybe better change the recipient info line to: "The data is encrypted to: %1" Where the variable might be: "Unknown recipient" or "Person A" or "UID A, UID B" plus the respective fingerprint(s).

And then be a bit more verbose on the recipient line, too. Replace "Unknown recipient" with "The data is encrypted to: unknown recipient." or "The data is encrypted to an unknown recipient." Choose the possibility here which works best in all cases/is easier to implement. (I'm not sure what all the other possibilities have to be kept in mind here, I assume the "unknown recipient" is a variable and there are various other possible values.)
