The effect of all /encrypted/ results that I am familiar with is not /text/ data; instead, /binary/ data. The binary data would have to be further processed with something like UUencoding to allow presentation as text. Regardless, the idea that someone would copy\paste something seems especially daft. While unencrypted text might be at least mostly decipherable if improperly copied\transcribed, that is less likely to be the case with encrypted text. The encrypted data is best stored directly by the program to its destination, removing from the process any /user/ actions against the encrypted data.
