I Ist seems your are using clearsigned signature which is a legacy method back from the BBS times. It still has its use cases but those are pretty limited. A better way for a realvily new protocol is to use a detached signature - either in the MIME format (if MIME is already used by Mastodon) or by using a cusom format like Git does it. You save a lot of extra octets and avoid many pitfalls in clearsigned texts. But yes, this requires some kind of support in Mastodon. > So, for example, maybe something like: > > --BPSM-- > H: SHA512 Mastodon clients may post- and pre- process such message before they are fed to gpg.
