Saving a .tar
file in Emacs works as expected. Saving a .gpg
file also works as expected.
However, when I save a .tar.gpg
file, instead of saving an encrypted form of the actual tar file, it instead saves an encrypted form of what the tar file appears in tar-mode
.
For example, I create a tar archive with the file abc.org
which has "Hello World!" in it. When I file
it, I get this:
test.tar: tar archive
However, if I save the same tar file as a test.tar.gpg
in Emacs, I get this when decrypted:
decrypted.tar: ASCII text
I believe this is because EasyPG doesn't understand that what's in the buffer isn't what needs to be saved. How would I go about fixing this?
