>Description:
Mutt creates empty messages if there's some error while decode-{copy,save} e.g.
wrong passphrase.
It gives an error for pgp/mime types (Could not decrypt PGP message / Could not
copy message) or if check-traditional-pgp is used.
Nontheless a message with an empty body is copied/saved.
This should not happen. In case of decode-save it could result in mail loss.
Mutt should warn the user about the error and either copy the message as is
(encoded) or refuse to write the message at all.
>How-To-Repeat:
decode-copy or decode-save an encrpted message and enter a wrong passphrase.
