Use compression algorithm &ParmN;. Default is 2 which is RFC1950
compression. You may use 1 to use the old zlib version (RFC1951) which
is used by PGP. 0 disables compression. The default algorithm may give
better results because the window size is not limited to 8K. If this
is not used the OpenPGP behavior is used, i.e. the compression
algorithm is selected from the preferences; note, that this can't be
done if you do not encrypt the data.
Use compression algorithm &ParmN;. The value 2 is RFC1950 ZLIB
compression. The value 1 is RFC-1951 ZIP compression which is used by
PGP. 0 disables compression. If this option is not used, the default
behavior is to examine the recipient key preferences to see which
algorithms the recipient supports. If all else fails, ZIP is used for
maximum compatibility. Note, however, that ZLIB may give better
compression results if that is more important, as the compression
window size is not limited to 8k.
