Yo!

What exactly is the behaviour of show-policy? I've been slightly annoyed to=
day=20
(easily workaroundable(tm), so no problem)

gpg --clearsign on the terminal: the signature policy is displayed in the=20
signed message part like
=2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

blah
fasel
Signature policy:=20

so copy-pasting (damn pseudo english verbs today) from the console breaks.=
=20
Apparently it's displayed on stdout, too, so 2>/dev/null doesn't help eithe=
r.

=46unnily when redirecting stdout to a file, the signature policy is displa=
yed=20
after the signature, so it doesn't break the sig.

Proposal: display signature policy only when verifying a signature.

(And Werner, if you're going to say it's in 1.2.3rcX already one more time,=
 I=20
shall definitely throw something out of the window or whatever ;-)
