Thanks, thats what I feared. As I would not like to break it for GnuPG
users (IDEA) I will request all PGP 2.6.x users to have "PGP2" in their
userid. (Or is there any other textfield in the key that I could use ?)
Then the script can check for that and use pgp2 compatible encryption.
As for PGP2 compatible encryption/signing, is
http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/pgp2x.html still up to date ?
I wonder because it does not mention the --pgp2 option.
Is the method shown in this document still the recommended one to get PGP2
compatibility ?
All I need is: encrypt or sign + encrypt messages with an RSA v3 key so
PGP2 users can decrypt it.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Cheers,
