 If the recipient uses enigmail he/she's going to see the original title
 (ok, after a second or so), no further addon is needed (even without
 him/her having set the option, if the she/he replies to the sender without
 having the option set the original title gets lost)

 It won't work with sides that just support inline-PGP (like protonmail,
 nothing changes, because the title is put into pgp/mime-part and the
 option has no effect on inline-pgp), i guess it wouldn't work with
 Mailvelope either, etc. put overall most people don't trust js-
 cryptogryphy probably won't use a service that requires their private-key
 to be on thair server anyway.

 Maybe just add an option (pref. menu) to turn it on/off.
