losing meaningful whitespaces in an encrypted file

[Paladino, Vanda K]

I only know what my guys tell me :)  They say we have 1.2.6 on one
machine (the linux machine) and 1.2.0 on the other (the other unix
machine).  And someone else told me that Unix and Linux had different
versions of gpg, I didn't check that out, so apologies if it isn't the
case!

If you are not subscribed at this address, modertaor approval is
required.  That may take some time.  BTW, thanks to the volunteers who
to this moderating for so many years now.

Also make sure that you don't send out HTML mails, or mails withy HTML
parts of ZIP files etc.

Hmmm, Linux is as much a Unix as any other Unix.  What do you mean by
version 1.2? gnupg 1.2.0?  All Unix versions are identical in particular
in the parts of the code handling the bulk data and doing white space
removal.  The only problem I recall are those with large files; that is
the usual 2 GB problem on some machines.
