Ah, very good point!  <ponder>  The last thing I really want to happen 
is for the decrypted message to actually be saved to the message store 
(currently I think this does happen for backends that support
editing).  Would it be reasonable to add an optional argument to -edit 
that tells it not to do a reload of the article.  Then something that
wants to do the -edit and *knows* that it shouldn't do an article
reload could communicate that fact to -edit...
