It really isn't.  If you wanted the message to be encrypted, there's
no good reason to save it on the local disk unencrypted.  Mutt, for
example, does not decrypt incoming messages and then re-save them
unencrypted, nor would you typically want that.  If it's sensitive
enough to be encrypted outgoing, it's sensitive enough to be encrypted
on disk... even if you haven't actually sent it yet.
