I ran into an issue today when trying to encrypt a large file (18 MB) with the 
--textmode option.  We received the following error message from GNUPG: gpg: 
can't handle text lines longer than 19995 characters.  Can someone explain more 
about this error and if there are any other limits I need to know about?

I understand the cause of this error (18MB file without any CR/LFs), and that 
we really shouldn't use it.  I just want to understand more about this limit in 
case I ever encounter a need to have large records and the - -textmode option.

Thanks
Scott
