nod... I used to do that for a while - the folders would get unencrypted
while you were reading them, but if someone got hold of your machine,
they wouldn't be able to access any (closed) folders...
the only "problem" was in appending msgs to mailboxes, since it had to
unencrypt/reencrypt, instead of just appending, like you can do with
gzip...
