pgp is putting those extra "- " pieces in (guess you didn't read all your pgp docs :-), it does that so that it can tell the difference between pgp begin/end blocks and other stuff, kinda like sendmail "quoting" lines beginning with a dot with an extra dot. the difference here is that sendmail removes any leading dots before delivery and pgp doesn't after removing a signature. yeah, you do have to load it into an editor but mailing something to a remailer shoud not "hork" it. the pgp running on the remailer will just "- " the stuff and include it literally.
Uhh, this is not at all true. When PGP verifies a message, it will strip out the quoting dashes in the output. This is documented in RFC 822 (I think) about quoting messages.
Just run the message through PGP and it will strip out the first level of quoting in the output message, and you should be able to then run PGP on the rest of the message as well.
but is a remailer (or pgp) smart enough to take the output from checking a signature and run pgp over it again? is it going to know to take something and pass it through pgp until pgp can't do anything with it any more? i think that's the problem that jrochkin was addressing. he has a pgp encrypted message and then signs it and then wants to mail it to a remailer so that the remailer can decrypt the message but it won't ecause the encryption is nested... wasn't that it? -- --< "CYBERBOY" >-- andrew@ml.com (Andrew Brown) Phone: 1.212.449.0088 Fax: 1.212.449.8612 $400 million in gold bullion counter-intelligence FBI colonel Kennedy Treasury Honduras jihad Rule Psix Legion of Doom terrorist Khaddafi Uzi South Africa Peking
