-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I have an older gnuPG (v1.4.6) that is apparently mis-configured. When signing a message, it fails with a note about what a bad idea IDEA is, and quits. gpg is called from an email program to perform security services. There is no command option to indicate a preferred cipher.
