I'm happy to work merely with the anecdotal evidence that it
happens
a lot.
it's not the pgp implementations,
but it does happen 'always'
when generating a pdf that has a pgp message as an illustration
the pdf treats the empty line as 'whitespace'
rather than a 'line return'
and the pgp program trying to decrypt/verify the pdf example
is dealing with a functional omission of the empty line
this is true both in Adobe Writer (all versions through 6, anyway)
and PDFCreator
not a reason to change the standard,
just something to be aware of
a simple workaround when creating pdf's, is to manually add a colon
on the 'empty line' of the pgp message
this will render in pdf, and will be recognizable by all the pgp
implementations
