I currently encrypt a lot of my org files with gpg symmetric encryption
using http://www.easypg.org/. I open the file as if it were a normal file
and emacs asks me the password. With a mode line at the start of the file
org mode comes up fine.

I think it would be useful to be able to encrypt individual sections of an
org file, but I wonder how easily I would be able to unencrypt those
sections if org-mode weren't available. Right now I can easily unencrypt the
org files just using gpg, but if only a section is encrypted, am I going to
have to do some hacking to get that section unencrypted without org-mode?

Good idea,
Scott
