I think that would be security hole. You should not store the encrypted messages
on a decrypted database. A solution whould be to encrypt as well the xapian DB,
but I think is too complex for the use.

You should be still able, with the actual notmuch, to search over the headers of 
your encrypted messages, or any other non-encrypted part of the message. Is not
like that?
