Isn't it time GnuPG / PGP started offering AES as a standard algorithm?
Since version 1.0.4 all keys are created with AES as top cipher

If you ask me GPG has as much to answer for in the

I tried arguing with PGP that if they wanted to phase out RSA use, the

Brad's point about writing encryption software for Windows, as you often

These days, PGP is effectively useless for interoperable email. If
you have not prearranged with the recipient, you can't exchange
encrypted mail. And even if you have, one or the other of you will
probably have to change your software, which will produce other ripple
effects if you are trying
Actually, I've found it isn't quite that bad. Yes, there are some
problems with some of the odd-man-out features. And yes, there are
certainly problems that only get solved if users upgrade to PGP 6.5.8
or more recent versions of GPG.

According to the bug reports I receive for GnuPG, it seems that even
the latest versions of PGP (7.0.3?) are still not OpenPGP compatible.
At least they still don't understand

No, the latest version for Win32 is 7.1.1, and for MacOS 9 it is
