Avoiding inference about the email’s content…
That’s why we use pgp, don’t we‽

I guess we got each other wrong here,
I was indeed talking about encrypting AND sending
to the keyholder.

None the less I stick to the policy of choosing a
proper, content describing, subject which in return
does reveal information about the content while traveling
over the net.
So a dummy subject which might be overridden after the first
decryption might fit the purpose of “hiding” information about the mail…

I wonder if there’s some ideas on that yet.

Thank you.
P.M.
