What we usually do when we know the action can't be done, is we just disable the button. I think that could be reasonable for this case as well.
Sure, but I think we should let the user know why we can't repair it and avoid a dead-end interaction.
What about this?
"This is an OpenPGP message that was apparently corrupted by MS-Exchange and it can't be repaired because it was opened from a local file. Copy the message into a mail folder to try an automatic repair."
