The discussion about 'safe' text editors brings about an interesting question:
Is an editor needed at all? Why not just input text into gnupg and then encrypt the inputted txt without saving it as file at all ? example: $ printf "just a test" | gpg -c -a gpg: using cipher TWOFISH gpg: writing to stdout -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) Comment: passphrase: sss jA0ECgMIJajxa3ELSBlg0kABCUd+YIT+bTKfHTQk0wci13SWrk+8LcYh6AGA9Bnu iu/ZE/7NH14hcUb8GEeGtwt6XNahGN6TSER7MYg0tLTY =hEB7 -----END PGP MESSAGE----- Is there any limitation to the size of such a text message that gnupg can handle when done this way, (or any other problems)?
