As I said in <20100108091216.GC735 at lapse.rw.madduck.net>, I think it
should be optionally possible for those that are encrypting the
xapian DB in other ways.

Most of the time, I search headers, but I do search bodies
regularly. So no, that would not be enough, at least not with the
ideal solution. And notmuch comes close to ideal already! ;)
