IDEA is the symmetric cipher used to encrypt the data. Your key has IDEA se=
t=20
as the default cipher in its preferences flags. Do a gpg --edit <yourkey> a=
nd=20
change the preferences so that IDEA is not in the list of desired ciphers.=
=20
(I'm not sure if you can do this if your installation doesn't have IDEA,=20
though, so perhaps best dig out a gpg version with installed IDEA support=20
(nullify build for windows, IIRC).
