That's a good question, I think we'd all like to know that.

You didn't actually decrypt it then.  Doing that is not going to
help.  You've at least figured out you have to decrypt using PGP
(presumably with gnupg in your case).  How do you encrypt and decrypt
a PGP message?  There are two basic methods.  Symmetric and assymetric
crypto.  aka shared key and public key crypto respectively.  If its
asymmetric crypto, you need to have a key to decrypt?  Do you have it?
If not, then what?
