It appears that PGP 8 is breaking the spirit and intent of the ascii

What it is doing is in essence putting in a Version that is too long for some
mailers' line slicing paramaters. The result is that people receive this:
Version: PGP 8.0.2 - not licensed for commercial use:
www.pgp.com
Is it really a line-length issue, or something else like the presence of the
second colon in the line for something that's scanning for <string>:<string>?
For a mailer to be unable to handle a 66-char line sounds pretty... broken.
