compatibility problems with PGP versions < 8? Because pgp2, pgp6 and
pgp7 disable mdc.

personal-cipher-preferences name1
the first named cipher will be used for symmetric encryption too
and/or
s2k-cipher-algo name
Use name as the cipher algorithm used to protect secret keys. The
default cipher is CAST5. This cipher is also used for conventional
encryption if --personal-cipher-preferences and --cipher-algo is not
given.
