doc: unify definition list usage across man pages

Browse source 
Make all parameter descriptions etc. use reStructuredText definition
lists with uniform style and indentation. Remove redundant indentation
from around the lists. Remove blank lines between term lines and
definition blocks. Use four spaces for indentation.

This is almost completely whitespace and paragraph reflow changes.

item is deprecated, and will be ignored if notmuch is built

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.
Default: ``gpg``.
``nostash`` is the same as ``true`` except that it will not stash
newly-discovered session keys in the database.
**index.decrypt**
From the command line (i.e. during **notmuch-new(1)**,
**notmuch-insert(1)**, or **notmuch-reindex(1)**), the user can
override the database's stored decryption policy with the
``--decrypt=`` option.

keys for the message. If ``auto``, it will try to index the

Stashed session keys are kept in the database as properties
associated with the message. See ``session-key`` in
**notmuch-properties(7)** for more details about how they can be
useful.
``nostash`` is the same as ``true`` except that it will not
stash newly-discovered session keys in the database.
Be aware that the notmuch index is likely sufficient (and a
stashed session key is certainly sufficient) to reconstruct the
cleartext of the message itself, so please ensure that the notmuch

``index.decrypt=true`` or ``index.decrypt=nostash`` without
considering the security of your index.

**mbox**
All matching messages are output in the traditional, Unix mbox
format with each message being prefixed by a line beginning
with "From " and a blank line separating each message. Lines
in the message content beginning with "From " (preceded by
zero or more '>' characters) have an additional '>' character
added. This reversible escaping is termed "mboxrd" format and

**raw** (default if --part is given)
Write the raw bytes of the given MIME part of a message to
standard out. For this format, it is an error to specify a
query that matches more than one message.

If the specified part is a leaf part, this outputs the
body of the part after performing content transfer
decoding (but no charset conversion). This is suitable for

For a multipart or message part, the output includes the
part headers as well as the body (including all child
parts). No decoding is performed because multipart and
message parts cannot have non-trivial content transfer
encoding. Consumers of this may need to implement MIME
decoding and similar functions.

``--format-version=N``
Use the specified structured output format version. This is

``--part=N``
Output the single decoded MIME part N of a single message. The
search terms must match only a single message. Message parts are
numbered in a depth-first walk of the message MIME structure,
and are identified in the 'json', 'sexp' or 'text' output
formats.

Output the single decoded MIME part N of a single message. The

numbered in a depth-first walk of the message MIME structure, and
are identified in the 'json', 'sexp' or 'text' output formats.
Note that even a message with no MIME structure or a single
body part still has two MIME parts: part 0 is the whole
message (headers and body) and part 1 is just the body.

``--verify``
Compute and report the validity of any MIME cryptographic
signatures found in the selected content (ie. "multipart/signed"
parts). Status of the signature will be reported (currently only
supported with --format=json and --format=sexp), and the
multipart/signed part will be replaced by the signed data.

``--decrypt``
Decrypt any MIME encrypted parts found in the selected content
(ie. "multipart/encrypted" parts). Status of the decryption will
be reported (currently only supported with --format=json and
--format=sexp) and on successful decryption the
multipart/encrypted part will be replaced by the decrypted

``--body=(true|false)``

formats and it is incompatible with ``--part > 0.``

``--body=false`` is only implemented for the json and sexp formats

This is useful if the caller only needs the headers as body-less
output is much faster and substantially smaller.

Include "text/html" parts as part of the output (currently only

unless ``--part=N`` is used to select a specific part or
``--include-html`` is used to include all "text/html" parts, no
