Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I opened a file I had encrypted previously with epa-file, edited it, and saved it. I received the following error: > Opening output file: Encrypt failed: ((invalid-recipient (reason . 0) > (requested-recipient . "78DBE585"))) I also receive the error when I wrote its contents to a clear text file and then attempted to re-encrypt with C-x C-w file.gpg, even when doing so after opening the clear text file in a fresh Emacs instance. If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'. If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file /opt/emacs-cvs/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
