Enigmail allows the encryption of the subject line, References, etc. for
`PGP/MIME`-Messages (The orginal subject line becomes part of the
encrypted `MIME`-part). This feature is already build in an can be enabled
by setting the following options in Thunderbird's about:config.
>```extensions.enigmail.protectHeaders true```
>Protect sensitive headers of encrypted messages, such as the subject. The
original header is moved into the encrypted message and replaced by a
dummy value (such as "Encrypted Message"). This is part of the Memory Hole
standard that is currently being developed.
>
>```extensions.enigmail.protectedSubjectText Encrypted Message```
>Text to use as replacement for the subject, following the Memory Hole
standard. If nothing is defined, then "Encrypted Message" is used. [1]
(Remark: if not set, "Encrypted Message" might be translated)
This feature is not unique to Enigmmail and has been implemented to other
platforms but unfortunately it's not that wide-spread [2] either. That
means, that in the worst case, the other side will just see "Encrypted
Message" as subject line---but that seems to me a rather small trade-off.
