If I run 'setpref S9 S10 S13 ...' when editing my key, then is adding
all this to the gpg.conf file really necessary? I would think that
adding all this to the config would be only if you didn't want to change
the preferences in your key. Then again, now that I think about it, if
you don't set the preferences, then how is a sender supposed to know
what you support?
