Sorry, that's a little bit stronger than I intended.  There are of
course cases such as, "This is odd, every communication I have ever
had with Alice about $SUBJECT previously has been encrypted, but this
one is not, I wonder if there is a problem here?" But for the common
case my point remains .... the fact that a message is encrypted should
not enter into the validity calculation.
