Hi folks, So I timestamp everything I input into my (org-based) GTD system (except for inbox items, that I'm sure I will review soon anyway). Here's how I do it: * Sample entry <2012-01-15 Sun 00:52> I have (org-insert-time-stamp nil t nil) bound to C-x C-y and I just insert it below the entry. This makes for a nice chronologic history of every data in the system. However, I have a problem with encrypted entries. Of course, if I add it as part of the content to be encrypted, it will not appear as plain text, but i tried to do like this: 1) Create the entry: * Sample Entry 2) Write its contents 3) Tag with :crypt: * Sample Entry :crypt: 3) Save the buffer. The contents are now encrypted: * Sample Entry :crypt: -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) hQEMA7MmqOB5vxnzAQgAy6tE4lj1uLMaAm8+dPL9N2LHxZsH+VWyiig6gY1rE0M0 Y1wDLDPYTIR+AUoSMGmU4S+9DZ9v4xoTBev4tjhtZIA9Lvw6aqf3Xlb2YGTJCCeq ... -----END PGP MESSAGE----- 4) Add the timestamp *before* the --BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-- line: * Sample Entry :crypt: <2012-01-15 Sun 00:52> -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- ... 5) Save again. Expected: Encrypted message and timestamp to stay as is. What happens: A new encrypted message is written, with the timestamp + the "old" encrypted message as part of it. Any hints appreciated :) - Marcelo.
