Hi,
  
 Unfortunately these colleagues have the PGP desktop settings enforced by 
corporate policy, so they can't change them.

Subject: Re: [Enigmail] Option to add a string to subject of encrypted mail 
  
Pete,

It's been a couple of years since I played with Symantec PGP, but I do 
remember that the product will perform various tasks (encryption, signing, 
PGP-Partitioned vs PGP/MIME, send in the clear) based upon rules that the 
user can define.  One such default rule is the presence of the character 
string "[pgp]" in the email subject, or in the body of the email - but 
these are only defaults.

The user can define any string to perform almost any encryption/signing 
task.  He can change the user-friendly defaults.  He can even specify that 
emails of "high importance" should be encrypted and/or signed.  I used to 
use the subject field string "[pgp-m-e]" to encrypt using PGP/MIME and 
"[pgp-m-s]" to use PGP/MIME and sign - but these are just two of my 
personal examples.

Before you go to a lot of trouble to automate the inclusion of a particular 
string in the subject field, you should know precisely how your 
correspondent has configured his rules in his installation of Symantec PGP. 
 He may not be using the default string of "[pgp]".

I'm sorry  :-(    I know that I have not answered your question about how 
to automate the inclusion of the string you wish to use.  Like you, I'm not 
very experienced in JavaScript or Thunderbird plugins either.
