If you have
      * an email client that supports GPG
        <http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/related_software/frontends.html#mua>
      * the key you are trying to register present in your GPG keyring

then it should just work, and the message should appear decrypted (after
giving your GPG passphrase to your mail client).

If your mail client does not integrate with GPG, you need to pipe the
body of the message to GPG, it should automatically to the right thing
and decrypt it (after asking your for the passphrase).

If you are using a webmail and you are not comfortable enough with the
command line, there might be ways doing that using some GUI apps, but I
do not know about this.
