-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Distribution: Cypherpunks <cypherpunks@toad.com> Branko Lankester <lankeste@fwi.uva.nl> I noticed something about PGP signed plaintext the last time used that feature to send a message to Cypherpunks. Apparently PGP takes any line beginning with 5 dashes ("-----") and adds "- " (dash blank) to it. I guess the purpose for this is to avoid confusion if the plaintext message should contain a PGP delimiter like -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- But in my particular case, what I specified in my input plaintext was -----END OF MESSAGE BODY----- (but with no indentation), but what came out was - -----END OF MESSAGE BODY----- Given that PGP is going to make changes like this to signed plaintext, I suggest there is no longer any reason to object if PGP also removes trailing blanks from signed plaintext. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.1 iQCVAgUBK02ta94nNf3ah8DHAQFX8wP/dyusrml+2XH7XQtFcsQveGW3Zz3ib6K9 xGGV2hnvhwIHbFs4HIKTIVT0BFR6Y4SuqFMeF0BS16FIu47GmW8Q55iIhweDP7x5 +CUMXSynwQsz4XOMU/CpqNAwJifNoM9BwNu+RqfhIxwi6KxO1i3FwJjxPzE+uHkh Y7Mjl7Ytkd0= =0l/6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- edgar@spectrx.saigon.com (Edgar W.
