Another way to go might be to add --gnupg (or --openpgp) to the gpg
options used for tagging.  That overrides an option like rfc1991 in
the gnupg config file.

Whether that's preferable to accepting these older-style messages is
debatable.  Using rfc1991 implies pgp-2.x compatibility, which means
using md5 as the algorithm.  It could be seen as a weakness to accept
such signatures.

(Oh, and you probably saw this already, but s/faling/failing. ;)
