This usually happens because you archived the file with an encryption
key, and forgot to use the key when trying to extract it. (I've been
asked to "rescue" a couple "trashed" archives where this was the case.
Personally I'd blow off encryption. Just a hassle for your own use,
and really only a minor problem for some determined person to decrypt.)
