This is a known bug in MacPGP 2.6.2 due to an unititalized variable.
The fix is to edit the config.txt file located in the same folder as
the MacPGP binary. You want to set the "MyName" option to be the
userID on your secret key. Once you've edited and saved config.txt,
restart MacPGP.
The configuration option should read something like this:
MyName = "My Name <user@host.site>"
I hope this helps.
