This is a FAQ.  See http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for step-by-step
instructions on how to do this.  The issue is that PGP (particularly a
version as old as 6) does not implement the newer OpenPGP features.
GnuPG also implements more of the optional ciphers than PGP 6 does.
The FAQ has instructions to alter the feature and cipher list to match
what PGP 6 can handle.
