#3589: prompts for PGP / SMIME passphrase when searching

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
If I try to limit for messages (via limit-command) or otherwise search
through a mailbox, Mutt seems to require me to enter my passphrase over
and over, even within a short span of time (I am not using gpg-agent, but
mutt usually will cache the agent passphrase within a short period of time
-- for example, normally, if I've entered my passphrase, I can view other
encrypted messages that are encrypted to a key I've used very recently, or
view the same message over and over again).
There also doesn't appear to be an option to not search encrypted messages
at all, and hitting ^G won't abort the entire search, just the current
one, so once you've tried to search a large mailbox with a lot of
encrypted messages, there's no easy way to break out of the cycle without
killing mutt.
This is not the end of the world, but I'm wondering if there's some more
graceful approach to this situation for before 1.6.
