If you want to automatically *decrypt* messages that you receive
encrypted, and have them saved in the clear, I'm pretty sure there is no
support for that in Claws.  I think the best thing to do there is make
sure you encrypt each of your own messages to yourself as well, and
then use Claws to search them.

Although, I just tried it myself, and it seems Claws doesn't decrypt
messages when it's searching.  I just did an Extended search in the
body for a keyword that I knew was in an encrypted message 
(i.e., "b <keyword>"), and it didn't find anything.

If that would work, it would allow searching in encrypted messages...
although, it would have to ask you for your passphrase... hopefully
only once, not once for every message! :-)
