So you have received an encrypted message for your pgp key and encrypted it. The message makes you think it contains bitcoin?

I managed to open user ID which appears to be 3 differents

3 different what? User ID?

, but i have no idea about what to do next? Can someone help me out with this issue?

What you write does not sound like bitcoin, but maybe you can be more clear about it? Why not contact the sender? Is the message signed?

I was sure that it wasn`t going to make sense. I have got mail from someone saying he made a donation in bitcoin. I have had my public adress and thought i was gonna receieve it directly in my online wallet. Which is not the case. His mail was had some kind of code with GPG. So i downloaded GPG program and tried to open it. I thogught i could get some kind of private key to add on my wallet. But i couldn`t manage it. I hope this information will be helpfull to understand. Do you think you can help?

If you dont have a PGP key pair, its impossible to send you an encrypted message. Maybe it was just signed?

A signed PGP message looks like this:

Code:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

this is shorena from bitcointalk.org
with a sample PGP signed message for Nomad88.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v2

Thank you for your help. I think it is just a signature. Very weierd, because he clearly states that he has sent bitcoin :(

Adding private keys from random individuals is not a good idea, if they want to donate some BTC(which I highly don't believe is their intention) , they'll do so by asking as to which address of yours they should send it to

I see 0 to mix PGP into this. Just ask him the TXID if he did send it. I'm assuming you sent him a BTC address and he is to send BTC to that address. No Bitcoin is going to go through PGP, you can't import it into your wallet, he has to sign and send from his wallet.

I very much doubt he would instead send you the privkey for you to access the BTC, so PGP has no place here.

The attached file looks like a signature. I guess it doesn`t have anything to do with btc. I must have missunderstood.

Roger Ver sending you BTC just cause seems quite impossible and the expected thing at the same time

That file is just a signature for the email itself. You can verify the authenticity of that email and that it was actually him who sent the email. As for the bitcoin though, the attachment has nothing to do with that. You just need to wait for him to send bitcoin to your donation address.
