I find the following lines in the epa-file.el:

(defun epa-file-write-region (start end file &optional append visit lockname
                                    mustbenew)
  (if append
      (error "Can't append to the file"))
  ...

It seems easypg disable the ability intentionally. I don't know how to solve...

I don't understand what to do. Could you say something more?
