+Indexing cleartext of encrypted e-mails
+
+ It's now possible to include the cleartext of encrypted e-mails in
+ the notmuch index. This makes it possible to search your encrypted
+ e-mails with the same ease as searching cleartext. This can be done
+ on a per-message basis with the --try-decrypt argument to indexing
+ commands (new, insert, reindex), or by default by running "notmuch
+ config set index.try_decrypt true".
+
+ Note that the contents of the index are sufficient to roughly
+ reconstruct the cleartext of the message itself, so please ensure
+ that the notmuch index itself is adequately protected. DO NOT USE
+ this feature without considering the security of your index.
