Intelligence-community-proof is somewhat of a fallacy. You can make it more expensive for the NSA to get your email, because then you're forcing them (or another arm of the government) to penetrate your client and extract the key there.
And, all you have done is make damn sure they keep your metadata records. Somewhere I read that sending encrypted email is an automatic flag, in the same category as using words that incite violence.
So to truly make it effective, encrypted email has to be the norm, not the exception.
