The user needs the option.
And it should also work, when I "Save As" eMails to a normal folder. I found out, I can't do anything with emails I stored, when they still are encrypted. 
I think the user must have the possibility to decide. If I want to index eMails or process them with different tools, I must be able to strip away the encryption. Otherwise at a given time the eMail will be very safe (nobody will access it ever again, least myself)

For long time archivation storing things with the encryption is not feasible. Enterprise strength archivation needs to strip the encryption away too (because most people will not have the keys, the historians and auditors certainly not.
