+        When indexing an encrypted e-mail message, if this variable is
+        set to ``true``, notmuch will try to decrypt the message and
+        index the cleartext, stashing a copy of any discovered session
+        keys for the message.  If ``auto``, it will try to index the
+        cleartext if a stashed session key is already known for the message
+        (e.g. from a previous copy), but will not try to access your
+        secret keys.  Use ``false`` to avoid decrypting even when a
+        stashed session key is already present.
+
+        Be aware that the notmuch index is likely sufficient to
+        reconstruct the cleartext of the message itself, so please
+        ensure that the notmuch message index is adequately protected.
+        DO NOT USE ``index.decrypt=true`` without considering the
+        security of your index.
