Description

I'd love to see a feature where all messages are checked, but left on the mail host (and ignored) if they aren't either PGP/MIME or contain some inline PGP. So, If I get a thousand messages, but only 3 are signed or encrypted, I would like K-9 mail to only show me those 3 (since my phone already alerts me with the default mail app every time I get mail). That way, my K-9 mail inbox is not full of messages that don't need the PGP features of K-9 mail.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by tracing message fetching and the existing PGP/MIME or inline-PGP handling, then determine how non-PGP messages could remain on the mail host while only matching messages appear in K-9 Mail; done means both signed and encrypted messages are shown without importing other messages.
