They appear to have a more carefull process:

A diff shows only two headers get changed by the encryption.

1) it updates the timestamp in the top-most Received: block 

2) the Content-Type: becomes "multipart/encrypted; ...".


The Message-ID: field is not touched, nor is any other field.

So getmail should not retrieve again?


(I can live with a filter, its just nice to have unencrypted mails as
they came in ... quicker to search for one ...)
