Yes it certainly does. I didn't know I had to supply the optional arguments
(I though it would just recognice the algorithm in use).

Sorry for saying it didn't & Thanks a lot !

By the way, do you know how can I become certain that the message the user
is trying to decrypt was ciphered using IDEA?
With "gpg --list-packets" you can get the packets, but it doesn't print the
algorithm used (although, if I am not wrong, it should be possible reading
the "Symmetric-key encrypted session-key packet (tag 3)", shouldn't it?).

Thanks a lot again.
