- Like about half of the signed postings I have seen, Peter's arrived here
- corrupted (NULL lines converted to lines with a single space in them).
- This causes the messages to fail the signature check (it doesn't even
- strip the armor correctly) until manually massaged.
-
- Is this a problem for anyone else? If so, perhaps the next release of pgp
- should consider automatically stripping trailing blanks on "+clearsig" type
- signed msgs, and perhaps try to account for other "mailer" type anomalies.
