PGG doesn't insert nor remove any Hash: lines. The output from gpg is
used directly, except for QP encoding when needed. Gnus will QP
encode the output from gpg, so the receiver till have to perform QP
decode before it looks like a valid OpenPGP packet. This might break
some MUAs that expect the OpenPGP armor to not be QP escaped, but
rather, only the signed data. But such a message wouldn't conform to
MIME specs (the '=' in the CRC24 tag is invalid QP unless escaped),
and some MTAs bounce those messages...
That the morale is to use PGP/MIME instead is hopefully obvious.
