Encrypt subject

Hi !

If I am in the wrong place, please advise me where to go.
Sorry if that has been discussed before, but non-searchable
list-archives are an abomination to the lord.

So:
I like PGP, and use it a lot in thunderbird+enigmail.
However, as has cropped up several times on the enigmail mailinglist, it
would be really nice to be able to hide the Subject: header of an email
inside the encrypted mail body.

Are there any ideas/proposals about this ?
It kind of makes no sense to encrypt the body if a lot of the info can
be gleaned from the subject.

It was suggested that one could include something like:
Header-Subject: mysubject
into the encrypted mail, and just get it out again after decryption.
I am sure if that could be put into a RFC of some sort it would be
adopted by clients pretty fast.

Ideas ? Discussion ?

Sorry if I bored you to death,
Cheers,
Karl
