Description Jan Willamowius 2015-06-24 13:08:40 UTC 
S/Mime supports a variety of encryption algorithms, but 3DES seems to be the most used, but is getting rather old and insecure.

Currently the encryption algorithm can be set for all mails with the cipher-algo switch in gpgsm.conf (eg. "cipher-algo AES256").

It would be helpful if Claws would have a preference setting which algorithm to use.
