Hello list.

Slavko reported an issue that affects those of you who use this
MUA for reading mails.  It has been introduced in

  [05ef5d3c] (Global=hack n_PS_BASE64_STRIP_CR to get rid of CR's
  in visual base64 output, 2017-06-24)

and is thus present in the entire v14.9.x series.  It has been
fixed on [master] and the [stable/] series, and is about things
like

  # echo hallo|gpg -es|s-nail -:/ -Sexpandaddr -s au /tmp/GPG.mbox

First: out.mbox is valid, message production is not affected.
You can also do things like

  # mail -:/ -f -X 'File GPG.mbox' -X'write dec.gpg' -Xx
or
  # printf 'write dec.gpg' | mail -:/ -Rf GPG.mbox

and then (supposed that no `filetype' handler is installed which
mangles the data, then, say):

  # gpg -d dec.gpg
  # ..
  # gpg: Good signature...

Unfortunately until the next release is up *pipe-** handlers will
see data which has carriage-return \r bytes stripped.
Sorry for that!
