You might want to reconsider using IDEA: although it was the bee's knees
for the early 1990s, the past twenty years (good /grief/ it's so strange

Using --digest-algo is pretty dangerous. It's easy to create messages
your recipients can't parse. --personal-digest-preferences is what you
want to use in
Hi, it appears --digest-algo is ignored for symmetric encryption using gpg
1.4.9. I was able to verify --cipher-algo does work but for some reason no
matter what I specify for --digest-algo I always get RIPEMD160 as the hash
according to --list-packets and pgpdump. It's definitely looking at what I
