glad to hear you found a workaround in the meantime.

While we are at it: I use vim's built-in encryption since several
years and without any problems, without any unexpected folding
behaviour.
I actually trust the built-in encryption so much, that even make my
daily backup of my very personal outlines to the office server's area
before I leave.
(Ride bike and take ferry with laptop.)

Is that a bad practice to leave files around with vim's internal
encryption? Shall I move to gpg?

I don't share my encrypted file with anyone, so I've never seen the
point of a public key encryption for this purpose.
When I want to communicate a subtree from my outline file, I export
the piece to a separate outline file, promote the root to level1,
remove encryption as a llast step and send it as a plain text.

But if you think gpg offers higher level of protection, I'm open to
move. What do you think?

Have a nice day,
  Peter
