[cross post] Why does verification of a detached signature result in a “Message digest did not match” error for OpenPGP.js?

Could be a problem with text mode vs. non-text mode. By default, gpg uses non-
text mode when signing something. Try adding --textmode to gpg's command line.

This is just a wild guess, but fromText() could imply text mode in OpenPGP.js.
