When I used the term "Legacy" - that's what I was referring to.  I thought
the implication was that if a PGP implementation is old enough and has not
been updated (the PGP version 2.x referred to before), that it would not be
able to decrypt my OpenPGP traffic from GPG using 3DES instead of IDEA for a
v3 key.  That is what I was concerned about.  It appears not to be an issue
in this case though.

Again, thanks to all for helping clarify things.
