gpg - PGP compatibility ?

[Steve Butler]

I try to avoid sending encrypted data files via email.  So, the problems =
I
run into involve GnuPG and ftp on a Linux box plus whatever the group on =
the
other end is using.  In some cases the other end is using a Windows ftp
server (which makes for interesting problems sending an encrypted data =
file
with record marks from Linux and having them read them after decrypting =
on a
Windows box).  Coming the other way we have to strip the "^M" character =
off
the end of the records.

Hi Steve,

what MUA you use?
I had a problem near yours. On my side whas it the GDATA-Outlook-Plugin, =

but only if I sign messages with Attachement. On so mails you must use a =

"detached" signature - and this can't the Outlook-Plugin, it uses=20
Inline-Signatures and crashes the attachement.

Please excuse, I'm a fresh newbie with bad english.

I'm having a different problem from GnuPG 1.0.7 to PGP 6.5.8.  Their end
does not error out, it writes a file, but the output file is identical =
to
the encrypted file I send them.

We had a problem receiving files from them (unknown packets) until we
discovered that their mainframe was adding about 80 bytes of data to the
file.

As for Rick's problem, wonder if GPG is using a compression algo that =
PGP
doesn't handle well.  Can you try it without any compression?

We are having intermittent problems with files encrypted using GPG 1.0.6
being sent to another party using PGP 6.5.  They get PGP errors every =
once
and a while that say "problem expanding" data.

Has anyone seen a similar problem?
