setting cipher-algo for encrypting to PGP 2.6.x user?

[Gregor Zattler]

Hi,

i just realised that gpg uses 3DES symmetric encryption when using a
RSA pub key. 

I thought there was a way to tie a specific algo to a key but did not
find (--help, man gpg, faq, gph) a gpg command for it. 

I'm using mutt and do not want to change my gpg.rc but to edit this
one key.

What do i miss?

Ciao, Gregor
