This makes it possible to search your encrypted e-mails with the same ease as searching cleartext. This can be done - on a per-message basis with the --decrypt argument to indexing + on a per-message basis by passing --decrypt=true to indexing commands (new, insert, reindex), or by default by running "notmuch config set index.decrypt true". - Note that the contents of the index are sufficient to roughly - reconstruct the cleartext of the message itself, so please ensure - that the notmuch index itself is adequately protected. DO NOT USE + Encrypted messages whose cleartext is indexed will typically also + have their session keys stashed as properties associated with the + message. Stashed session keys permit rapid rendering of long + encrypted threads, and disposal of expired encryption-capable keys. + If for some reason you want cleartext indexing without stashed + session keys, use --decrypt=nostash for your indexing commands (or + run "notmuch config set index.decrypt nostash"). See `index.decrypt` + in notmuch-config(1) for more details. + + Note that stashed session keys permit reconstruction of the + cleartext of the encrypted message itself, and the contents of the + index are roughly equivalent to the cleartext as well.
