I didn't know about these commands, I used gpg -a --store to do
it though. I do notice the difference in the output though.
- --store makes an openpgp message with nothing but a data literal
packet, while gpg --enarmor does base64 conversion and
checksumming only. To me, it seems that -a --store is more user
friendly, as no special command is required, gpg knows what to do
with it by default.
