                          I'm using mutt, with notmuch-mutt  indexing the mail. I have a macro defined in mutt to search multiple mailboxes, using notmuch's integration (as suggested in the man page).

    macro index  \
      "set my_old_pipe_decode=\$pipe_decode my_old_wait_key=\$wait_key nopipe_decode nowait_key\
      notmuch-mutt -r --prompt search --decrypt\
      echo ${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/notmuch/mutt/results\
      set pipe_decode=\$my_old_pipe_decode wait_key=\$my_old_wait_key" \
      "notmuch: search mail"

I also have GPG-encrypted email. mutt can unencrypt these fine, and its internal search works perfectly on the encrypted emails. However, notmuch-mutt fails to search these properly. Notmuch 0.6 (from 2011) apparently  supports GPG, however this doesn't work for me out of the box. I'm running Notmuch 0.20.2. Is there a way to search encrypted mails using notmuch-mutt?
