Client's editors invoked by mailreaders should not do such things without asking. It's nut gnupg's responisbility to bypass the bugs of other editors or mailreaders. And besides that, the sender of a message can't know how the receiver will wrap. If he's affraid about that he should format the message himself before signing. BTW, is this "feature" new in the NAI windows pgp versions? I can't find it in any 2.x version. -- ir. J.C.A.
