I'm trying to use enigmail to encrypt my mail communication. So far
everything is working really good. The only problem I have is not being
able to store my mail permanently decrypted in my local thunderbird
folders (I know I can "save as" but that's not what I want).
I'm thinking about writing a plug-in for thunderbird to scan local
folders for encrypted messages and have them decrypted by enigmail and
then saved back as a regular thunderbird mail file/folder so the
(decrypted) mails are visible without any password or certificate.
You can potentially earn $720+ by implementing permanent decryption:

Being unable to permanently decrypt email is blocking many users from being
able to use encryption. This feature was originally requested in 2003.
A more cynical view would be s/is blocking many users from being able to
use encryption/is creating a reasonable barrier to entry which keeps out
users who would just find other ways to foul the pond/
That said, for $720 I would consider writing the feature myself! :) I
would have to hold my nose while I did it, but that's a good bounty for
this type of project ....
