I did some testing just now and using 'gpg -e --cipher-algo idea -r recip xxx'
where xxx is a PGP2 key on my gnupg keyring, I am then able to unencrypt the
message, peculiar though is the fact that if I sign it and encrypt it pgp2
refuses to decode it saying that the plaintext is corrupted? Perhaps I'm doing
something wrong or it could be the use of a ElG key to sign it... I did not try
using my pgp2 key to sign it with in gnupg, not enough time right now.
