The problem could be, that you might have different keyrings
and you imported it into the one but WinPT uses the other?

Is that the keyring which is set in the WinPT GPG preference dialog?

Did you reload the keyring after import? (Even so it should be done
automatically?)

Usually this should work without any problems.

Maybe the problem is, that these keys are not OpenPGP and thus likely
to use IDEA for encryption? GPG does not provide IDEA due to patent
reasons.

If you want to send screen shots, please send them directly to my
address. The list has a message size limit and it's likely that
mail would be blocked.
