This information is courtesy a program called pgpdump. It takes some
OpenPGP data as input and parses it. You can do something similar with
gpg --list-packets foo, but I like pgpdump better because it'll tell you
all the algorithms that you prefer and even if you have no-modify set on
your key (you do). You can even see the MPIs.

I obtained it from <http://www.pgpdump.net/version.html>. It's really
great. And there are Win32 versions available. Or you can run it online.
