Currently, notmuch has the levers needed to set coherent crypto policy around how cleartext is indexed, which also has an impact on how messages are rendered. But we don't have a lot of documentation about how to do sensible things. This is an initial attempt to address that. The first example shows a way to selectively index specific messages. The next two examples are about aligning the existing database with crypto indexing policy The default crypto policy is to not index cleartext, and to only decrypt messages on display when explicitly requested. The other sensible crypto policy is to index cleartext while stashing session keys. messages indexed in this way will be searchable, and will be decrypted on display automatically unless the user explicitly asks for it to *not* be decrypted. The policy for indexing *new* messages is stored in the database as the config variable index.decrypt. But setting policy for new messages doesn't retroactively affect already indexed messages. This patch attempts to document ways that someone can efficiently align their pre-existing database with their new policy. I'm not sure this is the right place to document these examples, but i do want them to be user-facing and relatively easy to find. I'm happy to entertain suggestions for where else we should put them. |
