Are entire emails encrypted, or is the metadata in the clear?

(Ex: I could search by the [Mailing-List-Tag] + date range, from address etc)

From the search results I get, the body appears to be encrypted but things like sender/subject/etc. are in the clear and can be indexed.

This is why I hope they fix the bridge: I'd like to index my email fully and locally, but I'm not going to use thunderbird to do it.
