Privacy considerations when using mutt

Hi, I'm wondering about the privacy implications of using mutt. Say I'm using it on my laptop (or any untrusted host, maybe a computer owned and administrated by someone else) and if my laptop gets stolen I don't want my email to be compromised in any way. I don't want a copy of my email to be
