In order for the cleartext signed message to verify, there is no need to add another newline; the standard allows for text messages where the last line is not terminated. GPG actually REMOVES the last newline, if the input comes from the console, in order to allow for cleartext messages with an unterminated last line. I like this feature a lot. If terminating the last newline is not required, then one-pass signed and clearsigned text messages can be converted back-and-forth without access to the secret key (or any cryptography, for that matter). I think this feature is worth preserving. Thus, I propose not requiring the termination of the last line (and not terminating it automagically). -- Daniel
