how to make gpg shut up

Against my better judgement, I am using gpg to decrypt a symmectric encrypted message with the IDEA algorithm. I need gpg to be as quiet as possible, and therefore have specified the --no-verbose, the --quiet and the --no-tty options. However, gpg insists on informing me that it is “assuming IDEA encrypted data”. I attempted to issue the --cipher-algo IDEA option, hoping that telling it what to do would shut it up, however, then it tells me that my key is invalid. Just for fun I even tried the not-well-known --shut-the-fuck-up-i-know-you-are-using-idea option, but it merely complained that that option was invalid.

Does anyone know how to make gpg shut up?

French: lesson 1

Je vais écrire en Français de temps en temps pour m’aider à apprendre. Ceci prend beaucoup de temps si l’écriture sera courte. Si vous parlez Français, corrigez mes erreurs, s’il vous plait. Actuellement, J’ai un vocabulaire très simple. Je dois rechercher la plupart des mots que J’emploie. Pour m’aider à apprendre à parler meilleur, Je parle les mots me comme Je les écris, et les lis encore une fois quand Je suis fait. En plus, Je fais la traduction à l’anglais moi-même, parce que il m’aide à comprendre plus.


La traduction en anglais:

I will be writing in French from time to time to help myself learn. It takes a while, so the writing will be short. If you speak French, please correct my mistakes. Currently, I have a very simple vocabulary. I must look up most of the words I use. In order to help me learn to speak better, I speak the words to myself as I write them and read it all again when I am finished. Additionally, I do the translation to English myself, because that helps me learn even more.
