[PATCH 04/12] crypto: index encrypted parts when indexopts try_decrypt is set.

If we see index options that ask us to decrypt when indexing a
message, and we encounter an encrypted part, we'll try to descend into
it.

If we can decrypt, we add the property index.decryption=success.

If we can't decrypt (or recognize the encrypted type of mail), we add
the property index.decryption=failure.

Note that a single message may have both values of the
"index.decryption" property: "success" and "failure".  For example,
consider a message that includes multiple layers of encryption.  If we
manage to decrypt the outer layer ("index.decryption=success"), but
fail on the inner layer ("index.decryption=failure").

Because of the property name, this will be automatically cleared (and
possibly re-set) during re-indexing.  This means it will subsequently
correspond to the actual semantics of the stored index.

 Any property with a key that starts with "index." will be removed (and
 possibly re-set) upon reindexing (see **notmuch-reindex(1)**).
 
+MESSAGE PROPERTIES
+==================
+
+The following properties are set by notmuch internally in the course
+of its normal activity.
+
+**index.decryption**
+
+    If a message contains encrypted content, and notmuch tries to
+    decrypt that content during indexing, it will add the property
+    ``index.decryption=success`` when the cleartext was successfully
+    indexed.  If notmuch attempts to decrypt any part of a message
+    during indexing and that decryption attempt fails, it will add the
+    property ``index.decryption=failure`` to the message.
+
+    Note that it's possible for a single message to have both
+    ``index.decryption=success`` and ``index.decryption=failure``.
+    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 will be set on the message as a whole.
+
+    If notmuch never tried to decrypt an encrypted message during
+    indexing (which is the default), then this property will not be
+    set on that message.
