decrypt adding ^M characters at the end of each line

[Randy Braun]

OK thanks.... I'm going to try to get the vendor to encrypt in text mode if
not I'll have to strip out the ^M with sed before we process the file.

There is just textmode, which is something the sender sets.  On the
recipient side, GPG follows the encoding inside the message.  If that
message is not textmode (i.e. no transformation) then GPG won't touch the
content, so you need to break out the sed.
