> We'll try to make that more clear in the received (encrypted) emails

This seems like the ideal. If the message could look like

> This message from mom@protonmail.com was encrypted by PGP using the public key for foo@gmail.com retrieved from www.keys.openpgp.org

> -- BEGIN PGP MESSAGE -- ...

Would that leak anything the email provider and every forwarding server couldn't already have known? Not sure if clients support this kind of mix of plaintext and PGP: of course you could put the metadata in the headers, but clients won't show random new headers by default and Google isn't going to help you encrypt messages they would prefer to read.



All of this is public information, so it shouldn't leak anything. So indeed we'll look into whether we can make this information show up in an interoperable way.
