Indexing cleartext of encrypted e-mails
It's now possible to include the cleartext of encrypted e-mails in
the notmuch index. 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 --try-decrypt argument to indexing
commands (new, insert, reindex), or by default by running "notmuch
config set index.try_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
this feature without considering the security of your index.
