no, it's not an email client problem, it's what I said at the start

It's either a GnuPG problem or an RFC problem. It's possible to add or remove or modify text in a clearsigned message. If that's what the RFC allows, then the RFC is broken. If the RFC doesn't allow it then GnuPG is broken.

Why all the excuses and flaring tempers...have I insulted anyone?

This kind of sloppy exposure is out of place in the product/RFC. Making excuses or trying to explain around it or blame it on email clients is silly and not fooling anyone.

Thanks to Werner and everyone else who works on GnuPG.

Cheers,
Rand
