Imho, once messages are decrypted/decryptable server-side (be it
password, key whatever) we've lost. Messages have to be decrypted
client-side.

The idea upthread (Jan-Frode) to keep a public key server-side and
encrypt messages on arrival seems to me the way to go.

A nice challenge would be to devise something to do full-text indexing
on the server-side encrypted data (it won't be as efficient as indexing
of plain text, but... is that at all possible?)
