Description

Hey guys, I was surprised to be sent a message in the new saltpack format, but it doesn't seem to be working. I am running on macOS Sierra, so I was trying to decrypt on the web, but no dice:

keybase

What's my best course of action here? I can't downgrade the OS but do need to open the message.

Thanks!

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named; the report only identifies macOS Sierra, the saltpack format, and a screenshot of the failed web decryption. Start by reproducing the failure with the referenced message and determine which decryption path is affected; done would mean the message can be opened on the reported system.
