- Under GNUS or VM, or even elsewhere, crypt.el works *very* nicely when
- you save to compressed files, uncompressing the data in the buffer and
- then recompressing before writing the data out!
-
- Has anyone patched crypt to intercept this when foo.Z does *not*
- exist. Possibly some of the other writing routines might also have to
- be patched. For the moment the workaround is to save under GNUS or
- VM, and then switch to the saved buffer and execute `compress-mode'!
-
- Has anyone automated this process?
-
- Thanks.
