rjh@maggie:~$ gpg --gen-key
gpg: WARNING: using experimental features from RFC4880bis!
Note: Use "gpg --full-generate-key" for a full featured key generation
dialog.
GnuPG needs to construct a user ID to identify your key.
Real name: Delete Me
Email address: del...@example.org
You selected this USER-ID:
"Delete Me <del...@example.org>"
Change (N)ame, (E)mail, or (O)kay/(Q)uit? o
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea...

Where in there was I ever asked to choose an algorithm?

been saying that for twenty years now. I keep thinking that someday
someone will actually take it seriously...
