No, we should not support --decrypt=nostash for show or reply.  The
semantics of the display commands (show, reply) are such that they
*never* modify the index or stash anything in there.  The equivalent for
the indexing (new, insert, reindex) commands' "--decrypt=nostash" in the
display commands is simply "--decrypt=true".

If you take a look at the subsequent series that follows this one,
you'll see that i offer a "--decrypt=stash" command "notmuch show", but
it makes some unusual assumptions (in particular, about opening the
database read/write, which "notmuch show" has never needed to do
before).

So, in case it wasn't clear: i've thought pretty hard about these
commands and the options that users are likely to want or need.

But the current series (under discussion in this thread) should be
applied *without* those additional changes -- i don't want to have the
whole controversy about "notmuch show --decrypt=stash" now. :)
