|
|||
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 --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. DO NOT USE
|
||||
this feature without considering the security of your index.
