   Oh! EasyPG runs well with howm!
   (1) Run gpg-agent.
   (2) Put *.gpg into ~/howm/.
   (3) M-x epa-file-enable
   Then howm can search *.gpg seamlessly.

Glad to read that ! In fact, this is a requirement for me to
store passwords and things like that.

   Below is a quick hack to use external grep and EPG at the same time.
   * All files in ~/howm/ are searched by the external grep command.
   * All files in ~/gpg/ are searched by elisp so that EPG is applied.
   This is necessary because searching all files with elisp is too slow
   for me.  Test version (howm-test071107) is required for this code.

Thank you, I will try your hack tomorrow.
