To clarify, my gripe is with Evernote not warning that the export process found and skipped over encrypted contents in notes. I only discovered that by accident much later. The potential for data loss was my gripe. the gist was helpful and I’m glad the person contributed it to the world! If I had more need I probably would have attempted to modify it for my needs. Thankfully I didn’t have that many notes with encrypted content to deal with.

Just a note that this script does not decrypt the older "RC2" encryption, only the latter "AES" encryption, at least, I couldn't get it to work at all. I even added debug to the python code to confirm. The only thing that worked for me was search for all notes with encryption, add them to a new notebook, then go through each and decrypt permanently, then export that notebook, then re-import into the destination and deal with duplicates there. So glad I found out now that the export silently ignores all encrypted text as I had cancelled my subscription several weeks ago. I get that it shouldn't just blindly decrypt, but I would have appreciated a warning that it was explicitly NOT going to do anything, and that that information would have been lost.
