[Johan Wevers]

Hmmm, it indeed fails:

Encryption:

vulcan:~> pgp-2.6.3ia-multi6 -jd -c vraag.txt
3DES chosen for conventional encryption.
Pretty Good Privacy(tm) 2.6.3ia-multi06 - Public-key encryption for the masses
(c) 1990-96 Philip Zimmermann, Phil's Pretty Good Software. 2002-04-22
International version - for use everywhere (including USA).

PGP is now using 3DES with MD5.

You need a pass phrase to encrypt the file.
Enter pass phrase:
Enter same pass phrase again: Just a moment....
Ciphertext file: vraag.txt.pgp

Decryption with gpg:

vulcan:~> gpg --cipher-algo=3des vraag.txt.pgp
gpg: assuming 3DES encrypted data
gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=2b)
gpg: WARNING: message was not integrity protected
gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=45)
