It is part of the signing process to convert dash-dash-space to dash-space-dash-dash-space (on a line and alone).
I know I have read an explanation of why this is done, but I don't remember where. It sounds very dodgy for the contents to be altered by the signing program. It is part of the standard. Certain letter combinations that are used for other things have to be defanged (is that the word?). The begin line-dash-dash means something else for pgg, so the signature can not start that way or it breaks. This change is intentional and documented, but I can't remember where.
Interesting, I didn't know. Does that mean that gpg-aware email agents should be decoding this too?
yes, when i look at a pgp-signed message in thunderbird (with the Enigmail addon) i do not see "- --" instead, i see "-- " (well, i don't see the trailing space, of course..)
