Hi Peter,

we don't have a good function for this. Also, it is not so much about
extracting the contents, more about finding the boundaries. In some ways I think it would actually be better to use a tag for encryption instead of a property, because this would allow to encrypt everything except the headline. What about we change this to a tag crypt_KEY? Hmm, I am not sure if encryption keys would make valid tags.....

I'd very much like to see this improved and stabilized, so that we can
include this with Org, this would be valuable to have.  I am sure John
would not mind if you did the final steps with it.  Am I right, John?

I've started playing with org-crypt, which is very nice.

Unfortunately the org-apply-to-entry-contents function assumes that the
PROPERTIES drawer is at the bottom of the heading's contents.  There
might be a variable in org mode to control this, but all my entries have
the PROPERTIES drawer at the top, with the content underneath.

Of course, this means that org-crypt doesn't actually encrypt anything
for me.

I'm posting this to the org-mode mailing list to see if there is a
better way to get to the contents of a heading, excluding any drawers.
I'm sure there is something in the export system we could reuse. I say
"we" because I'm more than willing to submit patches.

One last note, the comments in the org-crypt file mention using an
after-save-hook to encrypt the appropriate headings. Shouldn't that be
a before-save-hook?

Thanks to all.
