  Don't worry, while I like to change some settings, I also like to
"play safe". Even if I could use Camellia, I would not use it to send
messages (maybe it would be interesting to be able to receive messages
encrypted with it).

   I thought about this question when I logged in an https site, and
noticed the connection was encrypted with Camellia 256, instead of
AES-256, as I had seen in other sites (each time I took the time to look
at the cypher algo used by the connection).

  Best Regards
