At last my view and experience is that latest Enigmail and MacGPG is
making it usable.

The key exchange is hard, but works really well in Enigmail+Thunderbird,
as key management is directly from mail read/compose window. Not in a
separate application.

2. It does not protect the header or the envelope, to the extent anyone
cares about divulging the Subject or other message meta-data...

Correct. It only protects what it protects.

3. It's packaging in the body is ugly. (See #1)

Huh?

It is using multipart/signed just like other security mechanisms that
protects the body.
