<content type='text'>
Here's the configuration choice for people who want a cleartext index,
but don't want stashed session keys.

Interestingly, this "nostash" decryption policy is actually the same
policy that should be used by "notmuch show" and "notmuch reply",
since they never modify the index or database when they are invoked
with --decrypt.

We take advantage of this parallel to tune the behavior of those
programs so that we're not requesting session keys from GnuPG during
"show" and "reply" that we would then otherwise just throw away.

If you're going to store the cleartext index of an encrypted message,
in most situations you might just as well store the session key.
Doing this storage has efficiency and recoverability advantages.

Combined with a schedule of regular OpenPGP subkey rotation and
destruction, this can also offer security benefits, like "deletable
e-mail", which is the store-and-forward analog to "forward secrecy".

But wait, i hear you saying, i have a special need to store cleartext
indexes but it's really bad for me to store session keys!  Maybe
(let's imagine) i get lots of e-mails with incriminating photos
attached, and i want to be able to search for them by the text in the
e-mail, but i don't want someone with access to the index to be
actually able to see the photos themselves.

Fret not, the next patch in this series will support your wacky
uncommon use case.

<title>indexing: Change from try_decrypt to decrypt</title>

<content type='text'>
the command-line interface for indexing (reindex, new, insert) used
--try-decrypt; and the configuration records used index.try_decrypt.
But by comparison with "show" and "reply", there doesn't seem to be
any reason for the "try" prefix.

This changeset adjusts the command-line interface and the
configuration interface.

For the moment, i've left indexopts_{set,get}_try_decrypt alone.  The
subsequent changeset will address those.

<content type='text'>
Now that it's easy to add argument specific modifiers in opt
descriptions, add a new .allow_empty field to allow empty strings for
individual string arguments while retaining strict checks
elsewhere. Use this for notmuch insert --folder, where the empty
string means top level folder.

We also update the documentation and tab completion, and add more tests.
