Re: Setting file extensions to be handled by gpg encryption problem

[bar tomas <bartomas@gmail.com>]

Many thanks for your help, but the regular expression you suggest
doesn't seem to capture file names with extension txt or gpg.
I've tried to test it in an emacs buffer and tried both
(\\.txt$)|(\\.gpg$) and (\.txt$)|(\.gpg$) but it doesn't seem to work
either.
Many thanks for any help
