I'm fairly certain that PGP 2.x did, provided that you gave it the -t flag to force textmode. This is something I fought with a bunch when writing PGP::Sign. > One alternative would be for Gnus to require an OpenPGP implementation. This sounds like a great idea to me. I'm not sure why anyone would still use PGP 2.x voluntarily rather than GnuPG or the current PGP version on Windows these days, given that GnuPG can now generate RSA signatures if you just have to have them. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu)
