Re: cleartext signatures - trailing white space - proposal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

There was a mention some time back of a possible attack on the proposed
algorithm:

DON'T SEND THE DATA TO ALICE
     

After signing this message, I've added a CR and 5 spaces to the above
line, which will obscure the word DON'T on some systems.  The signature
will still verify if we strip CR with the whitespace, but a superficial
look at the message may produce the wrong impression.
