Thank you for this useful description.

I feel it would make sense to open a bug to change this default.

Rational : If someone went the hassle of doing everything it requires to send an encrypted mail, he needs his message to be encrypted more than he needs it to be 100% compatible with everybody. And today 40 bits security is so easy to break that nobody can seriously call that "encrypted".
