+"DSA (aka DSS) is the digital signature algorithm which can only be used\n"
+"for signatures. This is the suggested algorithm because verification of\n"
+"DSA signatures are much faster than those of ElGamal\n"
+"ElGamal is a algorithm which can be used for signatures and encryption.\n"
+"OpenPGP distunguishs between two flavors of this algorithms: a encrypt only\n"
+"and a sign+encrypt; actually it is the same, but some parameters must be\n"

+"does this but other OpenPGP implemenations are not required to understand\n"
+"the signature+encryption flavor.\n"
+"The first (primary) key must always be a key which is capable of signing;\n"
+"this is the reason why the ecrytion only ElGamal key is disabled in this.\n"
+"You should not select the \"ElGamal in a v3 packet\", because that key is\n"
+"not compatible to other OpenPGP implementations."
