[PATCH 10/10] add --try-decrypt=(true|false) to notmuch reindex

Daniel Kahn Gillmor dkg at fifthhorseman.net
Tue Sep 12 16:01:53 PDT 2017


Try to decrypt any encrypted parts of newly-discovered messages while
re-indexing them.  The cleartext of any successfully-decrypted
messages will be indexed, with tags applied in the same form as from
notmuch insert --try-decrypt=true.

Note: if the deprecated crypto.gpg_path configuration option is set to
anything other than "gpg", we ignore it (and print a warning on
stderr, if built against gmime < 3.0).

+Supported options for **reindex** include

+
+        If true, when encountering an encrypted message, try to
+        decrypt it while reindexing.  If decryption is successful,
