If I understand correctly, it is the /sender/ who chooses how /you/ will see the
line endings. If they send it using the --textmode switch or the PGP equivalent
option, the .pgp file will be marked to instruct your GnuPG to convert the line
endings to local form, which is just LF. If the sender does not use --textmode
or its equivalent, you will get the EOL's that the original file of the sender
had. If they are using Windows, that will be CR-LF.

I don't think so. HHH mentioned PGP might have this option. The alternative, as
Werner said, is to convert it yourself. As long as the file is consistent in its
line-endings, this shouldn't be a problem.

HTH,
