Do I understand correctly that the content of emails that are stored 
encrypted 
are not readable in the archive of the list and are basically not displayed?
(It would be conceivable that the Sympa software, which knows the certificate 
of the list address, decrypts the content of the mail and displays it on the 
web page).

I know that changing the archive_crypted_msg parameter only affects the 
emails 
that arrive at Sympa after changing this parameter.
But in my test, I changed the parameter for a list and set the value 
"decrypted".
Afterwards I sent an encrypted e-mail via this list, but also the content of 
this e-mail was not visible in the archive of the list afterwards.

This would only be necessary if Sympa needed the old certificate to decrypt 
content from emails that are encrypted in the list archive and display it on 
the website.

Kind regards,
