Hi,

I looked into the OpenPGP Message Format spec, and some encrypted files, and 
figured out that no matter how large my encrypted message is, gpg uses a single 
Data Packet for the cipher text.  Can I somehow split that Data Packet into 
multiple independent Data Packets and decrypt them independently of each other? 
 I know I can't do that with standard command-line args to gpg, but I'm willing 
to manipulate the Data Packet to do this.  Is it possible from a technical 
standpoint ov view?

Also, what is the format of that Data Packet?  The OpenPGP Message Format is 
silent on that matter.  I'm not using any compression when I encrypt, so the 
Data Packet should be about the same size as the unencrypted file.  However, 
it's usually about 55 bytes longer than that.  What other information is stored 
in the Data Packet and what is the format?

Thanks
