#21880: Protected E-mail Headers (Enigmail) ---------------------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: cypherpunks | Owner: sukhbir Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Very Low | Milestone: Component: Applications/TorBirdy | Version: Severity: Minor | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | ---------------------------------------+--------------------- 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.
