3DES will be used. That's why it is an implementation MU
I know that gpg chooses common algos between the sender and recipient.
(I've not tested what will happen with recipients who have no preferences

not trying to out-think the intelligence codified in the application. I am

to read the source to several old and current versions of gnupg 1.x series
