personal-cipher/digest-preferences

If i understand the gpg.man correctly..

The "--personal-cipher-preferences" does only have an effect when
encrypting to more than one recipient, (besides from symmetrical
encryption algo selection)

and

the "--personal-digest-preferences" only when encrypting and signing
to more than one recipient. Im i right?

What does it mean to "factor in their own preferred algorithms when
algorithms are chosen via recipient key preferences."

Does it mean that, when i encrypt to a key that has, lets say AES
TWOFISH, and i use --personal-cipher-preferences TWOFISH AES, is the
message TWOFISH encryptet andgb

Is there any place i can read in detail how this works?
