I while ago, I added a couple of lines to my gpg.conf file, and at
that time I thought I knew what was I doing... but right now, I can't
remember exactly what effect do they have in gpg... maybe it is due to
lack of caffeine, but anyway, I'd like to know the effects of the
following lines:

default-preference-list AES TWOFISH AES192 AES256 BLOWFISH CAST5 3DES
SHA256 SHA512 SHA224 SHA384 SHA1 RIPEMD160 Z1 Z2 Z3 Z0

       --default-preference-list <string>
Set the list of default preferences to <string>. This preference list is used for new keys and becomes the default for "setpref"
              in the edit menu.


and

personal-cipher-preferences TWOFISH AES AES192 AES256 BLOWFISH CAST5 3DES

       --personal-cipher-preferences <string>
Set the list of personal cipher preferences to <string>. Use gpg --version to get a list of available algorithms, and use none to set no preference at all. This allows the user to factor in their own preferred algorithms when algorithms are chosen via recipient key preferences. The most highly ranked cipher in this list is also used for the --symmetric encryption command.
