Right, but what does happen when I use --textmode (not -t) together with armoring and signing? The only information I can gather from the man page is "Use canonical text mode".

gpg.rc: --textmode
Hi folks I'm playing around with GPG and want to use it with mutt. Now I have a question on the 'gpg.rc' script provided with mutt: -cut-- # create a pgp/mime signed attachment set pgp_sign_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --output - --passphrase-fd 0 --armor --detach-sign --textmode %?a?-u %a? %f" cut--- What is the '--textmode' for? The (gpg) manual page gives an explanation for '-t' but not really for '--textmode'. I know this is more a GPG-question but the gpg-handbook doesn't even mention this option so I guess it is related to mutt.
