I have that very question out to the vendor to see what platform the file was created on prior to encrypting it.
I have seen this same behavior with ftp when you go from windows to unix or vice versa when you don't use binary mode. I guess I as wondering if there is some sort of switch I can use with pgp to strip out the ^M? I know I could cat the output file to sed and strip out the ^M but I was hoping there was something in gpg that would do this.

Windows, for example, places \r\n (carriage return, newline) at the end of each line. UNIX OSs use just \n, and Mac OS 9 and earlier used just \r. ^M is another representation of the carriage return character. (Aka \r.)
