Org-mode & EasyPG: How to enable both on a per-file-basis?

Org-mode & EasyPG: How to enable both on a per-file-basis?

[phil]

Hello,

I want to use have my .org-file gpg-encrypted.

I played arround with EasyPG (http://www.easypg.org/) and after  
compiling the package and adding:

	(require 'epa-setup)

to my .emacs, encryption and decryption is working fine.

When I'm saving a file EasyPG is asking for a public-key which it  
should choose for encryption. To skip this dialog, there is the  
possibility to put

	-*- epa-file-encrypt-to: ("EMAIL-ADRESS OR KEY-ID") -*-

in the FIRST line.
This key is then used for encryption.

While this is working, when in the first line, it doesn't work when I  
have

	-*- mode: org; -*-

in the line above and when I move the mode: org to the second line,  
Org-Mode isn't working.

Any ideas how I can use both settings on a per file basis:

1. telling Emacs that this file is a org-mode file, and
2. telling Emacs which GPG-Key it should choose when encrypting?

Best regards from Berlin

Maybe
        -*- mode: org; epa-file-encrypt-to: ("EMAIL-ADRESS OR KEY-ID") -*-
works?

The best way is to read the Emacs documentation about
file variables.

You need to combine the two lines:

-*- mode:org; epa-file-encrypt-to: ("a@b.com") -*-

Thanks!

Is working like a charm - Everytime I save my .org-file it will be  
stored gnupg-encrypted.

Pretty nice, when you take your data with you - in case of lost.

Should be  a must-have for org-mode-users.
