This was only done in an attempt to exclude IDEA being the issue for
decrypting the secret key, not on the messages itself.

IDEA encryption and decryption seems to work as it should, and getting
the session key from the message works as long as the secret key is not
encrypted. However, it will always fail with a BAD PASSKEY whenever
encrypted /  password protected.
