I was able to decode the message from "wolf" posted to Newsgroup
alt.sexual.abuse.recovery and then posted here by Ed Carp, who said
Here's something I found on another newsgroup. Any ideas what it
is? It was a public posting...
I've tried uudecoding it and playing with it, running it through
uncompress, gunzip, and pgp (all with appropriate headers, of
course - I'm not a total idiot!), but I can't make heads or tails
out of it. Just curious if anyone found this familiar-looking...
Procedure for decode is:
Extract message to file xxx.asc
Add -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- and
-----END PGP MESSAGE----- to start and end of file.
Change PGP's CONFIG.TXT file to de-comment
KeepBinary = on # Decrypt will not delete intermediate .pgp file
verbose = on # verbose diagnostic messages
[this is probably the step Ed missed]
Then just run PGP against the file
PGP XXX.ASC
The result will be found in XXX.PGP which is now not deleted. I won't
repeat the long message here. It's apparently from a fag (Wolf) who
was beat up by his lover (David) whom he had arrested. Here are the
first few lines:
Hello friends.
I hope you are all well.
I am doing better today than before.
I get a little more livelier every day.
I am not in the mood to talk about the situation right now, though.
I would like to first of all thank each an every one of you for
the SCADS of mail I have recieved in response to my post about what
happened last Monday night.
I'm not sure how this message was produced. Maybe not by PGP.
I tried reversing the encoding with pgp -a xxx.pgp, but a different
encoded file is produced, which PGP decodes with no problems.
