Thanks for the info on where to find the configure options. I found that in -3, the following EMACS_CONFIG_OPTIONS were added: --prefix=/usr --dynamic --error-checking=none --debug=no --with-pop --with-file-coding --pdump --with-system-malloc
I suspect the important one is --with-file-coding. After posting a query to #xemacs, I got a sample solution, http://paste.lisp.org/display/16485 which works for me. In fact, just one line added to .emacs makes the whole thing work: (modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.gpg\\(\\.~[.0-9]+~\\)?$" 'binary) This requires that the file have .gpg extension which I didn't have, but it basically solves the problem. Since I have one GPG file without an extension I just name that explicitly to modify-coding-system-alist. I'm not sure if this is still a bug, since I have a workaround. It's taken more than two years of intermittent investigation since 230584 was filed, so for the next person who wants to use crypt++el it would be helpful if the default behavior were for it to function as expected. Failing that, some documentation on the necessary form to execute would be good. Liam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
