I dont know. I suspect that an integrated MIME parser with the
PGPsdk _could_ use it, but I don't know if anyone does.

The point behind the micalg= parameter was for ease in implementation
of a one-pass processing. If you know in advance to setup an md5
or sha1 hash processor, you can process the message through the hash
before you get to the signature portion.
I know. But who is using this feature actually?
