Things would get much better if a PGP 2 version with support for CAST5 would get more into use. We can't officially support IDEA for patent reasons in GnuPG; the next release comes with a --pgp2 option to bundle all the options needed for pgp 2 cmpatibility and furthermore you will get a warning if a message can't be encrypted in a PGP2 compatible way. There is a pgp 2 version by Disastry (http://disastry.dhs.org/pgp) which support all OpenPGP defined ciphers.
