? In which circumstances could this happen?

My understanding is:

Somebody sends me her pub key.  She tells me (my gpg) via --edit
user-id setprefs which algos, hashes and compression she trusts
*and* her equipment is able to process.  With personal prefs i
(my gpg) select(s) a algo, hash and compression *i* trust (and my
equipment is able to process) from the set she send me with her
pub key.  Is this correct?

Ciao, Gregor
