This is the same bug as archived bug #146711.

I just tried this again with 1.5.6-20040722+1 and I get the same
behavior, although it was claimed fixed "a long time ago" is 146711.
Lost a bunch of messages because of it.  

Steps to reproduce: 

send yourself an encrypted message
decrypt-save the message to a folder
type the wrong password when prompted
look in the folder--the message is empty!

No error message is received when typing the wrong password.
