  Thanks, I did it, and found the following:

Cifrado: AES256, AES192, AES, CAST5, 3DES  (cipher)
Resumen: SHA1, SHA256, RIPEMD160       (hashing)
Compresi├│n: ZLIB, BZIP2, ZIP, Sin comprimir [no compression] (compression)
Características: MDC, Sevidor de claves no-modificar (settings, maybe?)

Well, it seems I have not messed the config (yet)...

Now the question is: how do I set a "default prefered ^thing to use^"
without making unavailable the other algorithms? The idea is to use the
custom setting only when the recipient can receive messages using these
settings... I think I'd like to use AES256, SHA256, and ZIP, but only if
that doesn't produce unusable messages...

Regards
