Re: [Orgmode] org-crypt and PROPERTIES location

[Carsten Dominik]

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?
