Yes, yes-yes, yes and (hopefully NEVER).

BUT , have you thought about why you used encryption in the first place,
storing it in clear defies any logic to use any encrypotion at all.

That is like hiring an armoured car and 10 nasties to tranport you gold and then
dumping all that metal as a scrapheap in your frontyard.

when reading the clear text : write the pgg-output-buffer to a file.
