AFAICS  PGP 2.6.3i only strips blanks and converts EOLs to CRLF.

See fileio.c (make_canonical(), copyfile_to_canon() ) and pgp.c (in
main() ) and the global(!) variable strip_spaces.


PGP 5.0 does it the same way.


And now for something complete different: 
There is an identifier "mcguffin" in pgp.c; Phil seems to be a
hitchcock-fan :-)
