+<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
+<pre>
+       A user just received an encrypted message without indexing its  cleart‐
+       ext.   After  reading it (via <b>notmuch</b> <b>show</b> <b>--decrypt=true</b>), they decide
+       that they want to index its cleartext so that they can easily  find  it
+       later and read it without having to have access to their secret keys:
+
+          notmuch reindex --decrypt=true id:1234567@example.com
+
+       A  user  wants  to  change their policy going forward to start indexing
+       cleartext.  But they also want indexed access to the cleartext  of  all
+       previously-received  encrypted  messages.  Some messages might have al‐
+       ready been indexed in the clear (as in the example above). They can ask
+       notmuch to just reindex the not-yet-indexed messages:
+
+          notmuch config set index.decrypt true
+          notmuch reindex tag:encrypted and not property:index.decryption=success
+
+       Later,  the user changes their mind, and wants to stop indexing cleart‐
+       ext (perhaps their threat model has changed, or their  trust  in  their
+       index store has been shaken).  They also want to clear all of their old
+       cleartext from the index.  Note that they compact the  database  after‐
+       ward as a workaround for <u>https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/742</u>:
+
+          notmuch config set index.decrypt false
+          notmuch reindex property:index.decryption=success
+          notmuch compact
