(This bug report unfortunately got no response at the time.)

I tried reproducing this by saying

emacs -Q foo.gpg

I was then presented with this display:

[Message part 2 (image/png, inline)]
[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

And I could then read the encrypted file.  This is on Debian bullseye,
and the terminal is gnome-terminal, in Emacs 28.

Are do you still see this problem in Emacs 28?  If so, do you have a
recipe to reproduce it?
