Commit f8547f62c21 ("Use SHA256 not MD5 as default digest") changed the default hash from md5 to sha256. This leads to bug reports like this [0] where people can't access their old encrypted files. Would it work for if MD5 is tried if the now default options fails the encryption? I see some output on the console before openssl's error shows up so it does not look like a one liner.
