As far as I understood, standard GnuPG can use 3DES, Blowfish and CAST5
for the symmetric encryption part of the hybrid encryption which is used
for e.g. my email.

I know I can choose the algorithm for the symmetric cipher with the
option "cipher-algo", but which algorithm is the default? Or does GnuPG
randomly choose which algorithm it uses?

Thanks in advance,
Christoph
