He didn't.  The sender did,

Perhaps his threat model is such that local access is not a concern.
Perhaps his disk is encrypted.  Perhaps the messages are such that secrecy
is unimportant once they've been delivered.  Perhaps he has correspondents
who habitually encrypt all mail even when there is no secret content (I
sometimes receive such messages).

A "permanently decrypt" command would be very convenient, though it should
never be the default.
