25.0.50; Conflict between Tramp and EasyPG |

Hi there,
I use EasyPG for transparent access of encrypted files with
extension .gpg. If I copy an encrypted file, say test.gpg, via ssh
(Tramp) to a remote location, then I’m asked what public key to use
for encryption (none for symmetric encryption), and the encrypted
file is encrypted again, rendering it useless from within Emacs.
(If I open the remote file via Tramp, the outer layer of encryption
is removed, and I see the original encrypted file.)
Recipe:
0. Encrypt a file: test.gpg
1. emacs -Q
2. Open directory of test.gpg (C-x C-f).
3. Copy (C) the file to a remote location
(e.g., /address@hidden:/tmp).
The key chooser opens. Copy is cancelled if I cancel the choice.
Otherwise, a remote file is created, which is not a copy but an
encrypted file with two layers of encryption.
4. Open the remote file (C-x C-f /address@hidden:/tmp/test.gpg).
Observe encrypted data.
In contrast, if I copy an encrypted file to a local directory, it is
copied without extra encryption.
Note also that if I copy a plaintext file (test.txt) locally to one
with gpg extension (test.gpg), it remains a plaintext file. If I
copy that to a remote location, it gets encrypted. This may be a
bug or a feature, but is certainly inconsistent behavior.
Best wishes
Jens
