    Nope.  That depends on the capabilities of the recipient.


OpenPGP currently offers great compatibility/interoperability. That's
not something I would want to see given away simply because S2K-3 is not
perceived hype-du-jour compliant without being an actual security problem.

+1 for S2K-3 as MAY algo
