Maybe org-crypt may filter it out. I'll how hard is to add an option for that, it nobody beats me. >> Third, the encryped text changes from invocation to invocation.

I thought that it was asking for authorization for using my ssh key, but tried again and it accepts any text that I throw at it. On Windows the passphrase is asked using the minibuffer. So it seems that there is no issue here. >> I'm using the org 7.4 that comes with Emacs 24.0.50 (development >> sources) on Linux and Windows. > > Go update! :) Well, with this and org-contacts, which I'm eager to try, I think I'll finally start using org from git (sticking to some release tag, I guess) although using the version distributed with Emacs is much more convenient for those of us working on multiple machines. Thanks for making org-mode even more useful.
