Currently I'm using org-mode with EasyPG and it works great. Files
created with filename.org.gpg are automatically encrypted before being
saved, and it automatically knows to use org-mode for the file.
The one issue I'm having is with the Agenda view. If I try to pull a
global agenda list and include encrypted files org-mode chokes because
it doesn't know to decrypt before hand.
This isn't a bug in org-mode by any means, but do other people have a
solution they've come up with for this? Hopefully I'm not the only
one encrypting my note. :P

Kyle,
can you tell me exactly how you are doing this? I used to do this
just fine but something broke about 6 months ago and I'm no longer
able to encrypt the file automatically when saving. That is, it
decrypts just fine and I can edit the file but I get an error when
trying to save it:
,----
| byte-code: Opening output file: integer-or-marker-p, nil
`----
What settings do you have for EasyPG? All I have are:
,----
| ;; ------------------------------------------ EASYPG
| (require 'epa)
| (epa-file-enable)
| (setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t)
`----
I'm using "GNU Emacs 23.0.96.1" on Debian testing with latest org-mode
from git and easypg version 0.0.16-2.
thanks,
eric

I have the cache setting above plus
,----
| (setenv "GPG_AGENT_INFO" nil)
`----
Which means emacs prompts you for the pass. I also have the following at
the top of the org (gpg extension) file fwiw:
,----
| -*- mode: org -*- -*- epa-file-encrypt-to: ("rgr@richardriley.net") -*-
`----
and I dont call epa-file.
Works fine for me with emacs-snapshot on Debian Lenny.

Very strange. I did also have the file settings you have (obviously
with my pgp ident, not yours ;-). I've removed the epa-file-enable
and have included the setenv line you have but I still get the same
error as before. The backtrace on error doesn't tell me anything
interesting, unfortunately:
,----

Hello org-moders,
Maybe : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=503480
Where the maintainer said:
,----
| Removing /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/easypg prevents

|
| EasyPG is already integrated in the development version of Emacs,

| files for the flavors emacs-snapshot and emacs23.
`----
I use easypg without any problem.

Brilliant!! Many thanks. Problem solved.
<blush>
(now why didn't I think of checking Debian's bug reports??? sigh)

Thanks again,

Does this mean you were able to get the agenda view working with
EasyPG as well? That would be an awesome feature IMHO, pulling tasks
from all my notes, even the encrypted ones.

Kyle,
sorry for any misleading information. I have not tried incorporating
information from my encrypted org files into an agenda view. I use
encryption for sensitive notes, none of which comes into "viewable in
the agenda" category for me. What I managed was to get automatic
decryption and encryption working again thanks to Maurice's pointer.

Hello,
Kyle Sexton <ks@mocker.org> disait le 31/07/2009 que :
> Does this mean you were able to get the agenda view working with

In my .emacs, I have :
,----
| (require 'epa)
| (epa-file-enable)
| (setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t)
`----
I run the command : M-x epa-encrypt-file
in mini-buffer, I enter the name of my file : secret_filel.org
In the dialog buffer,
,----
| Select recipients for encryption.
| If no one is selected, symmetric encryption will be performed.
| - `m' to mark a key on the line
| - `u' to unmark a key on the line
| [Cancel][OK]
`----
I hit ok for symetric encryption, emacs asks me to type twice my
passphrase.
I get a new file : secret_file.org.gpg, I load it and add it ( C-c [ ) to my
agenda files.
Next time, if I want to see my agenda view, I have to give my
passphrases that are required for every encrypted files.
I run emacs23 like server in screen (the screen manager) at startup,
this last action (typing passphrases) does not need to be repeated
everytime because I run my agenda views in emacsclients.

Not to sound paranoid. But if you want caching, it's recommended to use
public-key encryption instead of symmetric encryption. gpg-agent is the
preferred way to do this. For more information see here:
(info "(pgg) Prerequisites")
Works fine with epa as well.
