Huh?

If I run

> echo "1234 6789 1234 6789 1234 6789 1234 6789 1234 6789 1234 6789 1234=20
6789 1234 6789 1234 6789 1234 6789 1234 6789 1234 6789 1234 6789 1234=20
6789 1234 6789 1234 6789 1234 6789 1234 6789" | gpg --clearsign

then this will result in a single (not wrapped) clearsigned line. How do=20
you make gpg wrap lines?

Ingo
