<title>Decrypting a received message</title>
<p>If you receive an encrypted message, you need to decrypt it before you can read it.</p>
<p>When you view the message, <app>Evolution</app> prompts you for your PGP password. Enter it, and the unencrypted message is displayed.</p>
<note style="tip"><p>Senders must have your GPG public key before they can send you an encrypted message.</p></note>
