Difference between setpref and options in the configuration

[Luis Ressel]

You missed a detail here. As the man page says, the personal-* settings
aren't used for creating keys, but for *overriding* preferences of
other keys while encrypting. You want "default-preference-list". This
is the section in my gpg.conf:

cert-digest-algo SHA512
default-preference-list SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 SHA224 AES256 AES192 AES TWOFISH CAMELLIA256 CAMELLIA192 CAMELLIA128 CAST5 BZIP2 ZLIB ZIP Uncompressed
personal-cipher-preferences AES256 AES192 AES TWOFISH CAMELLIA256 CAMELLIA192 CAST5
personal-compress-preferences BZIP2 ZLIB ZIP Uncompressed
personal-digest-preferences SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 SHA224
s2k-cipher-algo AES256
s2k-digest-algo SHA512

(I added Camellia and CAST5 because 3DES gets forcibly added at the end
and I'd still prefer those two over 3DES...)

Regards,
Luis Ressel
