It sounds great.  I thought about this kind of idea some time ago, but I
personally don't need it enough to make the time to implement it.  For
the few encrypted mails I have, I can usually search by "From:" and date
range to get a small enough set of matches.

I wonder whether this could be implemented by adding to mairix the
ability to index a single message on stdin (with the path to associate
with it as a command line argument.)  This might be useful to the people
who want to pass each incoming message through mairix as part of a
procmail recipe, for example.  This is just a thought - I haven't
considered the details at all.
