[PLUG] encryption and emacs

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I have a file I want to keep encrypted, but editing it with emacs
would be nice. I have read that crypt.el should do the trick, but it
(1) seems outdated, as it seems to want to use crypt, and (2) doesn't
seem to work for me anyway.

Does anyone keep encrypted files and have a one-step way to view
and/or edit them?


Viewing is easy enough, something like the following (untested) bit of
bash:

    emore() { gpg --decrypt $1 | less; }

I'd like such seamless editing without being forced to hit the disk
with named, decrypted files, a la

    eedit() { gpg --decrypt $1 --output $scratch; emacsclient \
    $scratch; gpg --encrypt $scratch --output $1; }
