This is excactly what I want!

Messages should be decrypted once when first opened (then the user could determine whether the information is too sensitive to keep stored in their inbox too!), and then stored permanetly decrypted on the local system.

Note that there might be problems with this and IMAP. The local client would have to store decrypted sent and received messages, but the external IMAP server would have to store the same messages encrypted. Or?...

Encryption is useful when the messages is transfered over the internett. It is not nescesary or useful (for most users) to store emails encrypted on local systems.

This would also eliminate the issues related to "what if OpenPG failes in the future; and you would not be able to access your old emails?" argument for not using encryption.
