The above patch looks pretty straightforward: it adds a boolean
$crypt_confirmhook, that if unset turns off prompts for the crypt-hooks.

Another option could be something like: $crypt_use_hooks as a
quadoption:
  - yes means all crypt-hooks are used without prompting
  - ask-yes/ask-no prompt for each hook
  - no disables all crypt-hooks.
This could provide a way to disable the crypt-hooks in certain
circumstances.  I don't know if something like that is useful or is
overkill.

I believe those last two lines can be replaced with:
macro index,pager  "=.Search" "Load the search 
results"

There are two parts. The key-bind in muttrc and a script, which simply
fakes a cmd-line within mutt and executes mairix. Afterwards it
automatically switches the folder view to the search results.
