46 This is the third draft of the series initially announced in
\r
47 id:1449718786-28000-1-git-send-email-dkg@fifthhorseman.net (second
\r
49 id:1453258369-7366-1-git-send-email-dkg@fifthhorseman.net). It
\r
50 differs from v2 in that it incorporates the recent improvements in
\r
51 detecting and processing S/MIME signatures.
\r
53 >From the v2 description:
\r
55 > Notmuch currently doesn't index the cleartext of encrypted mail. This
\r
56 > is the right choice by default, because the index is basically
\r
57 > cleartext-equivalent, and we wouldn't want every indexed mailstore to
\r
58 > leak the contents of its encrypted mails.
\r
60 > However, if a notmuch user has their index in a protected location,
\r
61 > they may prefer the convenience of being able to search the contents
\r
62 > of (at least some of) their encrypted mail.
\r
64 > This series of patches enables notmuch to index the cleartext of
\r
65 > specific encrypted messages when they're being added via "notmuch new"
\r
66 > or "notmuch insert", via a new --try-decrypt flag.
\r
68 > If --try-decrypt is used, and decryption is successful for part of a
\r
69 > message, the message gets an additional "index-decrypted" tag. If
\r
70 > decryption of part of a message fails, the message gets an additional
\r
71 > "index-decryption-failed" tag.
\r
73 v2 addresses the concerns raised from the helpful feedback on the
\r
74 previous series, and adds a notmuch_indexopts_t object that can be
\r
75 used to declare options for indexing messages, including a
\r
76 "try_decrypt" boolean.
\r
78 Additionally, this series adds a new function to libnotmuch:
\r
80 notmuch_message_reindex (notmuch_message_t *message,
\r
81 notmuch_indexopts_t *indexopts)
\r
83 Which allows user of the library to adjust the indexing options of a
\r
86 The CLI is additionally augmented with a new notmuch subcommand,
\r
87 "notmuch reindex", which also has a --try-decrypt flag.
\r
89 So a user who has their message index stored securely and wants to
\r
90 index the cleartext of all encrypted messages they've received can do
\r
93 notmuch reindex --try-decrypt tag:encrypted and not tag:index-decrypted
\r
95 Or can clear all indexed cleartext from their database with:
\r
97 notmuch reindex tag:encrypted and tag:index-decrypted
\r
