Thanks Phil for helping me through this! When I clicked decrypt for your
message I entered my passphrase but I got the following message. I
noticed on line 5 it says ID D332A952 which does *not* match the key ID
in my OpenPGP key management window. Maybe because when learning to set
this up I messed up and created 2-3 key pairs? I deleted them all except
for the latest creation.

Error - secret key needed to decrypt message
