Sort of. It provides basic encryption support that the TODO item on encryption referred to, though I didn't use much of it. (At least I think it referred to pgg at that time, but maybe it was something pgg replaced.) What I meant by `general facility' was file-handler-based encryption of files, i.e. something not tied to a specific package like Allout. Note, however, that the basic PGG code will lose data in some circumstances with non-ASCII characters as far as I can tell. (I don't know whether my reply about that got through.) Then I noticed that even with ASCII data, if you use M-x pgg-encrypt-region followed by M-x pgg-decrypt-region on the result, it fails with: [GNUPG:] NODATA 2 gpg: decrypt_message failed: eof gpg exited abnormally: '2' _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
