I don't know about this.

Actually, I don't think this has anything to do with it. I assume the
sender is encrypting to DFFE654A, as if he or she were encrypting to your
key you would not be getting this message. Cipher algorithm 3 is CAST5.
The key in question has no preferences listed, which means that
implementations MUST assume that it can do only 3DES (cipher algorithm
2). The implementation that encrypted to you did not do this, therefore
violating the standard (RFC 2440, et al.).  It is RECOMMENDED by the
standard that when implementations violate this rule, that the receiving
implementation warn the user. So it did.

It is when I struggle to be brief that I become obscure.
