Hello people.
I downloaded gpg4win 2.0.3. I have read in gpg2.man that:
--s2k-cipher-algo name
Use name as the cipher algorithm used to protect secret keys.
The default cipher is CAST5. This cipher is also used for con-
ventional encryption if --personal-cipher-preferences and
--cipher-algo is not given.
I tried to encrypt a file with gpg -c -v "randomfile" and it says gpg:
using cipher 3DES.. I have no other config files so why is it not using
CAST5?
