The sample PGP configuration that comes with mutt has the verify command
including --textmode, so, using Atom's idea:

  echo 'test    ' | gpg -ear B56165AA | gpg | tr ' ' 'x'

I get:

  testxxxx

If I add --textmode:

  echo 'test    ' | gpg --textmode -ear B56165AA | gpg | tr ' ' 'x'

I get:

  test

Does this help?
