Force the use of encryption with appended manipulation
code. This is always used with the newer ciphers (those

Allow the import of keys with user IDs which are not self-signed, but
have at least one signature.
This only allows the import - key validation will fail and you
have to check the validity of the key by other means. This hack is
needed for some German keys generated with pgp 2.6.3in. You should really
avoid using it, because OpenPGP has better mechanics to do separate signing
and encryption keys.
Allow the import and use of keys with user IDs which are not
self-signed. This is not recommended, as a non self-signed user ID is
trivial to forge.
