"?" - not tested
"? yes/no" - not tested, but probably "yes/no"
"no" not always means "absolutely no", it just means "no for PGP 2.6.3ia-multi"
for example PGP6.5 can use CAST5 for conventional encription, but file format is different and PGP 2.6.3ia-multi does not understand it so it is "no" in this table

*1 IDEA should be enabled in PGP Options
*2 CAST should be slected and IDEA disabled in PGP Options
*3 Blowfish should be slected and IDEA disabled in PGP Options
*4 AES128 should be slected and IDEA disabled in PGP Options
*5 IDEA should be slected in PGP Options

*6 with option: --cipher-algo IDEA --rfc1991
*7 with option: --cipher-algo CAST5 --rfc1991
*8 with option: --cipher-algo BLOWFISH --rfc1991
