[Gllug] encryption problems

Hi All,
Unfortunately I am having problems decrypting the reply to an email I sent 
after installing and trying out gpg encryption. I sent my gpg public key 
(file MarkPreston.asc) to Mike Bostock who has his pgp set up.
He then used this to send me a reply.
The reply turned up on Monday lunchtime on my Windows partition at work, 
which does not have any email encryption.
I forwarded it to mark at markpreston.co.uk and picked up the forwarded message 
on Monday night on this (Redhat 7.2) computer. Unfortunately KMail doesn't 
decrypt this as I was hoping it would. So I have been trying to decrypt it 
from the command line using gpg.
This has also been unsuccessful so far. I  have the message saved in a file 
named em1 in my home directory.
This is how it appears:-

When I run
