cannot confirm this,

in fact,
have just the opposite experience:

in order to make editing my gpg.conf file easier,
i add a list of *all* the options, commented out, to the end of my 
gpg.conf,

and winpt accepts it without a problem


here is the list: (23,040 bytes)

try adding them to the end of your gpg.conf files and see what 
happens,
works for me on
win2k pro, 1.4.5 , winpt 1.1
