Thanks, Meral, for the review.

It's certainly easy to say something, and I'll leave it to the author
to decide whether to.  But, yes, it's obvious: if the mail is
encrypted, the server *can't* provide any meaningful preview.

One reason it might be useful to say something is that the end of
Section 3.2 makes a semantic distinction between a zero-length string
and NIL, so it might be useful to say which one is applicable to an
encrypted message.
