Possible Bug in GnuPG?

Here's the deal. Windows GUI apps, at least the basic things like Notepad
that I've noticed this with, seem to require a 0xOd 0xOa character sequence
to mark an end of line. Thats CR LF. Most GnuPG output seems to have only
the 0x0d character to mark EOL. That's what shows up as the "heavy vertical
lines".

I had the same experience as you did with the command line and I think
Windows command line apps perform the translation before displaying. I can't
be sure though, but they seem to handle this fine.

Hi Folks.

Today I installed PGP on a windows system which uses Outlookexpress as the
mail agent.

All encrypted  messages I send using GnuPG are displayed as a single line,
with heavy vertical lines where the line ends should be.

I asked for advice from the PGP users list, and was informed that this is a
GnuPG Bug.

I set up OE5 on my windows partition and carried out a few tests...GnuPG
messages are displayed as described above. PGP 6.5.2 command line displays
as it should be.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Regards
Brian
