A while ago I stumbled onto instructions to up my prefs to use a better
hash than SHA1:

Today I was surfing around, and saw some relatively recent posts on the
list that said setting "digest-algo" in gpg.conf was a Bad Idea(tm). I
didn't find any threads on setting "cert-digest-algo", but the manpage
notes that this can cause interoperability issues.
So is setting "cert-digest-algo SHA256" okay, or is it going to cause
problems?
