* DETAILS: Document PLAINTEXT and PLAINTEXT_LENGTH.
* gpg.sgml: Clarify that --min-cert-level disregards level 1 certs by default. Clarify include-revoked a bit to note that keyservers might not be accurate. Note that --charset is --display-charset. Some language tweaks for --simple-sk-checksum (Debian 251795). Note the PGP silliness with preferred keyserver subpackets causing PGP/MIME.

PLAINTEXT <format> <timestamp>
|

This indicates the format of the plaintext that is about to be

written. The format is a 1 byte hex code that shows the
|

format of the plaintext: 62 ('b') is binary data, 74 ('t') is

text data with no character set specified, and 75 ('u') is

text data encoded in the UTF-8 character set. The timestamp

is in seconds since the epoch.

PLAINTEXT_LENGTH <length>
|

This indicates the length of the plaintext that is about to be

encoding it is not possible to know the length ahead of time.
