Yeah, this is what I looked at. It doesn't seem to understand public-key
encryption using gpg. I've been trying to hack the gpg arguments to
allow public-key encoding. So far, I've got:

This almost works. I can find a new file test.gpg, write it and save. It
(unnecessarily) asks for a passphrase and produces an encrypted file.
I'm then able to find that file, give the passphrase and get a decrypted
file in the buffer. However, if I try to save again I get the question
"save as a plain file?". The correct answer to this question appears to
be yes, this saves the file encrypted again. However, if you think that
an encrypted file is not plain and answer no you'd get an error saying
"encoding failed!" and from that point on further saves would fail.
There appears to be some hacking done to get the public-key stuff
working correctly with PGP and I haven't been able to figure it out.
Does anyone have any further insights?
