GPG: "for-your-eyes-only" error

I am trying to decrypt a message, encrypted from the other side using my public key, when I do

gpg --decrypt message.txt

I get the following error:

gpg: NOTE: sender requested "for-your-eyes-only"
(...) : WARNING: message was not integrity protected

I tried to google, without success. Why is this, and how to read the message?
Thanks.

Re: GPG: "for-your-eyes-only" error

I've never used that option but this is what the man page says (and Google returns loads of results).

--for-your-eyes-only
--no-for-your-eyes-only
Set the `for your eyes only' flag in the message. This causes GnuPG to refuse to save the file unless the --output option is  given,  and  PGP  to  use  a  "secure viewer" with a claimed Tempest-resistant font to display the message. This option overrides --set-filename.  --no-for-your-eyes-only disables this option.
