Description

This is probably not within the keybase scope, but I figured I'd let people know.

When a friend sent me a message from his google hangouts in browser to my legacy gchat in browser, the beginning and ending PGP message lines get cut off so they cannot be decrypted at the other end. Reading his message through my hangouts was fine.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the message exchange between Google Hangouts in a browser and legacy GChat in a browser, checking whether the PGP boundary lines are truncated in transit. Done means determining whether the truncation is within Keybase's scope and documenting a confirmed cause or reproduction result.
