nope, I hit it for 15 minutes, nothing happens after this message.
And it is every time 20 Bytes, regradless what I do.

I remember reading this problem somewhere.
(or you told it at the ffg99).
But my test was encrypt only.
Please notice that even if you add "idea"
you will be not able to crpyt to users of old "pgp2".

Just make a hint somewhere, cause if someone try,
he did not see the fault in the created message.

I don't need a fix for this,
just name it for documentation

I would like to switch to the
new keys as soon as possible.
All I needed is in the current release (with contrib).

kind regards Dirk
