You may have the other parties public key, but it seems that the party sending you messages used the wrong public key for you to encrypt the message, key ID 9A41C766 does not correspond to your private key.  Maybe they intended to send the message to someone else or maybe that corresponds to and old version of your key that they had on their keyring?
