The point of protinmail - as I see it - was an email address, that could not be associated with a real person. But protonmail changed the initial user authentication to require a handy or some other identifyable device, so the main purpose is gone.

But what I miss in kamil+PGPG is an encrypted mail-subject, e.g "Subject: [trinity-users] Re: more re. tde and qt5" beeing replaced by a random string, which gets replaced on the receiver side with an embedded subject from within the encrypted mail. Reason is, that a lot of users use a subject that tells a lot about the mail content, at least enough to let it be sorted in "interesting" or "junk".
