If there's no security implication (it's hard for me to imagine, but I'm not very imaginative) I think ignoring whitespace in the beginning and middle of the string makes a lot of sense. I could come up with a couple of more fanciful suggestions (for example: requiring at least a single space between nibbles to help users identify input that is truncated by a byte or two in case of a fudged copy-paste), but they're not nearly as large confusion-eliminators. > But enough nit-picking, the "complaint to code" time was amazing! :) I, too, am amazed! -- fdr _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
