I agree, I just don’t see the value of this being significant enough, since it only helps the second+ client that comes along.

If you are dealing with messages encrypted as a single blob, and want to have a good user experience, you probably have to venture into thick-client territory and proactively download/decrypt the message locally anyways. Otherwise, how can you provide full-text body search, or a UI with a message preview, as many clients seem to be doing nowadays?

Doesn’t that also diminish the need for this keyword?

Have I missed some important use-case?
