Besides, it might be difficult for TB! to keep track of to different
bases for each folder, one encrypted and one not. I vote for either
encrypting a whole folder or not encrypting at all.

However, I would like an option to turn encryption on/off for single
accounts or even better for single folders.

Encryption adds extra security against intruders, but at the same
time, it makes it harder (or impossible) for me to manually inspect a
corrupt message base. I can always open an unencrypted .tbb file in
Notepad and extract as much information as possible, this I cannot do
with an encrypted folder.

For some folders, I would like the extra security encryption brings,
for others, I'd rather have the extra safety of being able to open and
read the message base in my editor of choice.

Max, I would appreciate your comments and thoughts on this. The
decision will always be yours, but I believe we all would gain from
discussing this before you implement it.
