Use canonical text mode. --no-textmode disables this option. If -t
(but not --textmode) is used together with armoring and signing, this
enables clearsigned messages. This kludge is needed for command-line
compatibility with command-line versions of PGP; normally you would
use --sign or --clearsign to select the type of the signature.
Treat input files as text and store them in the OpenPGP canonical text
form with standard "CRLF" line endings. This also sets the necessary
flags to inform the recipient that the encrypted or signed data is
text and may need its line endings converted back to whatever the
local system uses. This option is useful when communicating between
two platforms that have different line ending conventions (UNIX-like
to Mac, Mac to Windows, etc). --no-textmode disables this option, and
is the default.
