<b>index.decryption</b>
If a message contains encrypted content, and notmuch tries to
decrypt that content during indexing, it will add the property
- <b>index.decryption=success</b> when the cleartext was successfully
- indexed. If notmuch attempts to decrypt any part of a message
+ <b>index.decryption=success</b> when the cleartext was successfully in‐
+ dexed. If notmuch attempts to decrypt any part of a message
during indexing and that decryption attempt fails, it will add
the property <b>index.decryption=failure</b> to the message.
- Note that it's possible for a single message to have both
- <b>index.decryption=success</b> and <b>index.decryption=failure</b>. Consider

an encrypted e-mail message that contains another encrypted
e-mail message as an attachment -- if the outer message can be
decrypted, but the attached part cannot, then both properties
sage.

- When <a href='../notmuch-show-1/'>notmuch-show</a>(1) or <b>nomtuch-reply</b> encounters a message with an
- encrypted part, if notmuch finds a <b>session-key</b> property associated
- with the message, it will try that stashed session key for decryp‐
- tion.

+ ated with the message, it will try that stashed session key for de‐
+ cryption.
If you do not want to use any stashed session keys that might be
present, you should pass those programs <b>--decrypt=false</b>.
Using a stashed session key with "notmuch show" will speed up ren‐
- dering of long encrypted threads. It also allows the user to
- destroy the secret part of any expired encryption-capable subkey
- while still being able to read any retained messages for which they
- have stashed the session key. This enables truly deletable e-mail,
- since (once the session key and asymmetric subkey are both
- destroyed) there are no keys left that can be used to decrypt any
- copy of the original message previously stored by an adversary.

However, access to the stashed session key for an encrypted message
permits full byte-for-byte reconstruction of the cleartext message.
to both detect and repair such a problematic message, it will do so
during indexing.
- If it applies a message repair during indexing, it will use the
- <b>index.repaired</b> property to note the type of repair(s) it performed.

<b>index.repaired=skip-protected-headers-legacy-display</b> indicates that
when indexing the cleartext of an encrypted message, notmuch skipped
that message, since it was able to index the built-in protected
headers directly.
