Even if you control your mail server, all of your recipients will also need to run their own mail server. and even then they may slip up and add X-headers. You will need to encrypt the subject and attachment names. If one recipient uses a different client/provider the whole scheme might fall apart.
If you need everyone to run their own mail servers and a specific client then why bother with email at all?

This means that the headers and body are included and there's no unencrypted text in that phase other than the CRLF.CRLF that terminates it. This means that it wouldn't be possible for the MTA to determine what the subject or attachment names are. > If you need everyone to run their own mail servers and a specific client then why bother with email at all? TBF, the article has the following statement: >> Delta Chat doesn’t have their own servers but uses the most massive and diverse open messaging system ever: the existing e-mail server network. It can't be considered open if everyone is just using the big mail providers.
