gpgsm 1.9.22 supports no RC2 Algorithm ?

[Nicholas Sushkin]

Werner,

I searched the internet for clarifications on how SMimeCapabilities should 
be used. I found that S/MIME Version 3.1 specifically says that NULLs 
should not be used to encode parameters.

Quoting http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3851.html#sec-2.5.2

"The registered SMIMECapabilities list specifies the parameters for OIDs 
that need them, most notably key lengths in the case of variable-length 
symmetric ciphers. In the event that there are no differentiating 
parameters for a particular OID, the parameters MUST be omitted, and MUST 
NOT be encoded as NULL."

However, as seen in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379625#c2, 
gpgsm (at least in 1.9.92) generates NULLs.
