Hmm. HJL's patches work fine for decryption, but they don't verify
signatures. In a later message, H.J. wrote:

: I don't have any plaintext signed emails. What do they look like? I
: have a patch can handle the plaintext signed emails like
:
: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
: AAAAAAAAAA
: BBBBBBBBBB
: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
: .....
: -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

If you have a patch, I'd love to see it. The decryption patch works
marvelously.
I think you should skip a blank line above "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----"
and a blank line below "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----". For instance, a one
line file containing "hi" (with no blank lines) would come out as:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
hi
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

That is a valid signature, signed by me ([EMAIL PROTECTED], key ID
0xAE2A3A4D in the key servers).
If you don't have the time but could send me what you've got, I can try to
fix it up to skip the blank lines.
Thanks a lot for this and for all your libc work!
