Question about: "gpg: WARNING: message was not integrity protected"

[Zuxy]

Yes you encrypted the file but symmetrically, i.e. you didn't encrypt
the file to someone's public key but to a passphrase. I don't if MDC
takes effect in such case.

And I don't know what that small security glitch was, either. Did that
allow bad men to alter encrypted packets without decrypting them?
