Forgive what may seem like a silly answer, but "whatever you told GnuPG to use as a default." If you want CAST5-128, 3DES, AES256 or whatever, just add: default-cipher-preferences [algo name] ... to your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file. To get a list of algorithm names, type "gpg --version" at a command line. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
