    In my opinion, if you have something like this in GPG.CONF:

default-preference-list S7 S11 S12 S13 S1 S10 S3 S4 S2 S9 S8 H3 H8 H9 H10 H11 
H2 H1 Z1 Z2 Z3 Z0
personal-cipher-preferences S7 S11 S12 S13 S1 S10 S3 S4 S2 S9 S8

    and assuming that 3DES is S2, that means that it's relegated so far that it
won't be used except if recipient key's preferences default to almost only 
3DES.
