if users or frontends still want to show contents, to me it seems good if

* there is a very explicit disable-safety-button
* ideally working only for one encryption, so it has been issued explicitely
  each time
* a warning against active content which may become active much later
* an attempt to prevent active backchannels as much as possible
  (e.g. by only showing plain text and saving as plain-text suffix)

would need to be put in the documentation so GnuPG frontends know.

Bernhard
