Backwards compatibility. CAST5 has been around it seems forever. AES256 hasn't.
Ah, I see.
It's fine to use AES256, just don't do it with "cipher-algo AES256". Use "personal-cipher-prefs" instead, and list the ciphers you prefer
thanks for the tip! (Interestingly, vim "knows" all the other options in my gpg.conf file and syntax highlights them, but personal-cipher- prefs appears to be unknown to it so at first I thought I had typed something wrong because it didn't get highlighted.)
Incidentally, AES256 is really, really strong. How strong is your public key? In most cases, the public key is not as strong as AES256,
Thanks. That's also an excellent point. (Naturally, my public key is not 15360-bit.)
