PGP doesn’t protect anything but message contents.

Indeed, be careful with choosing your email subject line when using GnuPG to encrypt.

Additionally, if you key it compromised all of your messages are compromised.

Yes, maybe for some people it is. I once knew a person who created a new GnuPG key every few months. It is also recommended in some howtos that making your key never expire is a bad idea.

By the way, for all readers interested in using GnuPG, FSF updated their Email Self-Defense guide this week. https://hostux.social/@fsf/112405348416810419
