No, I just sent it via gmail which I'm not familiar with.

Normally GnuPG does not insert a NotDashEscaped header.  I guess that
the sender (Steve Youngs) has a line "not-dash-escaped" in his
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf.

Yes, I know that.  However, if NotDashEscaped is removed, we should
also treat the original text as *not* dash-escaped.  Otherwise, the
contents you will see is not what signed in the clearsigned message.
I personally think this is not a big problem though.

I was saying that it is straightforward to make use of GnuPG's output
rather than to decode/reformat dash-escaped text by Gnus itself.
