PGP has message integrity checks.
When operating on files, PGP simply refuses to decrypt malformed (tampered) messages.
However, when invoked to process as a pipe, it will spit out the plaintext, then a warning.
Even though the client is at fault for ignoring the warning, arguably, PGP should be consistent and spew out only the warning.
