Past Enigmail had a feature to disable the automatic decryption of OpenPGP messages at the time you open a message for viewing.

We had renamed the old pref renaming that feature to temp.openpgp.autoDecrypt at the time of importing the old code, and the default was always set to true.

Currently, it appears the pref, when switched, can prevent automatic decryption of some PGP/INLINE messages, but it doesn't have an effect on PGP/MIME messages.

I suggest to remove the pref and the related code.

Although we have recently gotten a request to support this behavior, we'd have to introduce UI to control the optional decryption.

Should we be ready to implement that in the future, it wouldn't be much work to implement it, despite the removal now.
