Shouldn't gnupg be more generous in what it accepts here? Eg. rfc2045
explicitly requires MUA's to simply ignore any non-base64 character in
a base64 encoding, because MTA's are known to add and remove trailing
whitespace for their convenience. Ditto for QP. Since radix64 _is_
base64, I think these rules should apply to OpenPGP ascii-armoured
messages, too. (and looking into rfc2440, 6.4, I see, they do).
