This does not tell me anything useful.  I don't know what mailer you
are using, and I don't know how you are calling GnuPG.  Specifically,
and *exactly*, what did you change.  Did you stick "digest-algo
ripemd160" in your gpg.conf?  Did you do something in a mailer config
file?  Did you change something on the command line?  Did you do
something else?
