Not so. It turns out the command line is now different in PGP
6.5.8. It is now pgp -sta to clearsign, instead of pgp -sa.
(Needless to say the t option does not appear in pgp -h
The clearsigning now seems to work a lot better than I recall
the clearsigning working in pgp 2.6.2. They now do some
canonicalization, or perhaps they guess lots of variants until
one checks out.
Perhaps they hid the clear signing because it used not to work,
but having fixed it they failed to unhide it?
