Hi,
I just realized that the problem of writing
> (custom-set-variables
> '(epa-file-name-regexp "\\.txt$"))
as I put in my previous post to force emacs to treat txt files with
gpg encryption is that files of extension gpg then do not trigger the
gpg mode.
I tried wrting a regular expression that would include both txt and
gpg extension files like this:
(custom-set-variables
'(epa-file-name-regexp "\(\\.txt$\)\|\(\\.gpg$\)")
)
But there must be an error in my regular expression, because it doesn't work.
Many thanks for any help pointing out my error
