This is the second draft of the series initially announced in id:1449718786-28000-1-git-send-email-...@fifthhorseman.net:
> Notmuch currently doesn't index the cleartext of encrypted mail. This > is the right choice by default, because the index is basically > cleartext-equivalent, and we wouldn't want every indexed mailstore to > leak the contents of its encrypted mails. > > However, if a notmuch user has their index in a protected location, > they may prefer the convenience of being able to search the contents > of (at least some of) their encrypted mail. > > This series of patches enables notmuch to index the cleartext of > specific encrypted messages when they're being added via "notmuch new" > or "notmuch insert", via a new --try-decrypt flag. > > If --try-decrypt is used, and decryption is successful for part of a > message, the message gets an additional "index-decrypted" tag. If > decryption of part of a message fails, the message gets an additional > "index-decryption-failed" tag. v2 addresses the concerns raised from the helpful feedback on the previous series, and adds a notmuch_indexopts_t object that can be used to declare options for indexing messages, including a "try_decrypt" boolean. Additionally, this series adds a new function to libnotmuch: notmuch_message_reindex (notmuch_message_t *message, notmuch_indexopts_t *indexopts) Which allows user of the library to adjust the indexing options of a given message. The CLI is additionally augmented with a new notmuch subcommand, "notmuch reindex", which also has a --try-decrypt flag. So a user who has their message index stored securely and wants to index the cleartext of all encrypted messages they've received can do something like: notmuch reindex --try-decrypt tag:encrypted and not tag:index-decrypted Or can clear all indexed cleartext from their database with: notmuch reindex tag:encrypted and tag:index-decrypted _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
