Florian explained that the compatibility problem wasn't at the sender,
but rather at the receiver, so I changed my opinion and now think that
we shouldn't use combined mode by default since it isn't
interoperable. We should make the "separate" mode work correctly
though. This is somewhat unfortunate though. An alternative would be
to state that we cannot talk to PGP 2.x properly.
Hm. OTOH, since we are encrypting the message, we know who the
receivers are. Can't we look at the receivers OpenPGP keys to see if
any of them suggest that a broken applications is used? Florian?
