ignored. This will be fixed soon.

Encrypted Session-Key Packets"; however a warning message is
issued if this option is active.
* (5.5.2) states that an implementaion MUST NOT create a v3 key
with an algorithm other than RSA. GnuPG has an option to
create an ElGamal key in a v3 packet; the properties of such
a key are as good as a v4 key. RFC1991 does not specifiy how
to create fingerprints for algorithms other than RSA and so it
is okay to choose a special format for ElGamal.
* (9.1) states that RSA SHOULD be implemented. This is not done
(except with an extension, usable outside the U.S.) due to
patent problems.
