All,
I hacked up a bit of elisp to encrypt/decrypt a buffer of text using gpg in
the backend [1]. I've hacked Common Lisp for a few years now, but, not
elisp. So, I wonder if any veteran elisp hackers have any suggestions,
pointers, etc.
Just load the code and put some text in a buffer; then M-x
cryptob-encrypt-buffer and provide a recipient; you should get a new buffer
of ASCII-armored encrypted text. Same for decryption, except you must start
with the ASCII-armored encrypted text, and provide the password.
The code works as is ... but I'm sure it can be improved. (Caveat: I'm
using OS X so the path to gpg is likely different in most other
configurations.)
Thanks.

Note: the typical destination for working code is gnu.emacs.sources.

You could use `dolist' instead of `while'. In this case using
`mapconcat' is even simpler though (use `identity' for FUNCTION).
