Subject: [PATCH v2 13/21] cli/show, reply: document use of stashed session keys in notmuch-properties
Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2017 03:59:38 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171130085946.11332-14-dkg@fifthhorseman.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171130085946.11332-1-dkg@fifthhorseman.net>
The stashed session keys are stored internally as notmuch properties.
So a user or developer who is reading about those properties might
want to understand how they fit into the bigger picture.
Note here that decrypting with a stored session key no longer needs
-decrypt for "notmuch show" and "notmuch reply".

Using a stashed session key with "notmuch show" will speed up
rendering of long encrypted threads. It also allows the user to
