When I clearsign a document in PGP, it adds a “dash-space” to several of my lines. What gives?
• PGP does this because of the “—–BEGIN PGP MESSAGE—–” (and related) headers it uses to mark the beginning of PGP messages. To keep it from getting confused, it tacks a “- ” to the beginning of every line in the regular text which has a dash at the start. It strips the extra dash and space when you check the message’s signature, and writes the original text to the output.
