Don't you think this could be an example of "be conservative in what
you generate, and liberal in what you accept"?  Generate perfect
RFC-compliant messages, sure, but maybe GnuPG should accept messages
that are somewhat broken (especially in this case, which is a
difference of whitespace only).

Maybe we need a --strict and --nostrict :)
