They are inserted by OpenSSL and the openssl option -binary instructs
OpenSSL not to add them. Unfortunately I've not been able to verify a
message signed with -binary.

When removing the carriage returns from a signed message (signed
without -binary) OpenSSL is still able to verify the message.

So should Gnus cut out the carriage returns after processing by
OpenSSL?
