options
I've tried gpg 0.4.2 and finally I was able to sign a message with gpg and
verify it with pgp5.0i

I've built a rpm for redhat 5.1, It will be available soon if someone is
interested.

I've a suggestion: It would be useful if some options can be key (or user
id) specific. In my keyring I've a standard gpg key and a old pgp5 key. When
I've to sign a message with the latter, I've to specify the v3 packet
option, or some other options related only to this specific key.
So, if I can specify in options file that some options are to be used only
for gpg, pgp2, pgp5 keys I can save time and use without problems gpg under
programs like mutt. Now I've to put the v3 switch directly in options
file...

Use the v3 switch and you are done. The only disadvantage is that
this message is not fully in complicance with OpenPGP (but they
say v4 sigs SHOULD me used and not MUST).
