That is part of the OpenPGP standard RFC 4880. Trailing space removed and line endings canonicalized to CR-LF. Lines beginning with a hyphen/dash are dash-space escaped "- " in order to avoid confusion with OpenPGP message headers. There used to be a bug in the Mozilla mailnews code that left "-- "alone, but stripped the space from "- -- ". I think it was fixed some time ago. -- John P.
