Comment (by sukhbir):

 I like the idea and I also remember we discussed this around 2013 when we
 had started working on TorBirdy but at that time the discussion was that
 we should warn users that the subject will not be encrypted. So bonus
 points for actually encrypted mail headers.

 > 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.

 I just need to confirm this part before I make the change.
