    We have given this quite a bit of thought, but at the present moment, it is not clear the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages.

    The biggest problem is search. Encrypting all metadata would break metadata search entirely on the web client as there is still no efficient way to handle search of encrypted data within a browser.

    Secondly, metadata encryption’s value from a privacy standpoint is also somewhat dubious. Because we ultimately must deliver the message to the recipient, we must know who the recipient is. At the current time, there still isn’t any proven and viable way to work around this.

    Metadata encryption is an area of continued research for us, and when the opportunity arises and the technology for doing this matures, we will definitely implement it in ProtonMail.

    It is ridiculous that this has not been fixed yet. Being stuck on the US format is a major flaw in the user experience for everyone not from the US. I know several people I have warned against using the web client because of this. If for some reason making the format fully customizable is too much of a hassle for you right now, for the love of god give us an ISO 8601 option at least.
