	Thanks Ivan !

My EXMH-2.7.2 on FreeBSD-6.2 amd64 reported:
	encrypted with ELG-E key, ID 149FDD60
	encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID E82C367A, created 2008-06-04

	fatal: zlib inflate problem: invalid distance code

Gary J mailed me from FreeBSD (current  I guess)
	X-mailer: Claws Mail 3.5.0 (GTK+ 2.10.14; amd64-portbld-freebsd8.0)

A Microsoft user sent me a gpg encoded MIME enclosure 
I clicked to save that then reported:
	file file.asc
		PGP armored data message
	gpg -d -o xx file.asc
		You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
		user: "Julian H. Stacey (20080604103910) <jhs@berklix.org>"
		2048-bit ELG-E key, ID E82C367A, created 2008-06-04 (main key ID F986DFE1)
		
		gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID E82C367A, created 2008-06-04
		      "Julian H. Stacey (20080604103910) <jhs@berklix.org>"
		gpg: fatal: zlib inflate problem: invalid distance code
		secmem usage: 2048/3712 bytes in 4/8 blocks of pool 4832/32768

I ran:
	cd /usr/src ; find . -name \*zlib\* | xargs touch ; make all install
	exited & restarted exmh & retyped passphrase, & problem persists.

I tried running EXMH on 7.0 686 ( very slow, problems with NFS/AMD
(or maybe some gbde linked ~/.* initialisers ) & still a problem
with zlib.

I would try claws-mail, but a problem with gpg-agent (maybe local net related?)
I guess I'll try thunderbird.
Any comments/ ideas very welcome.
Julian
