Secure e-Mail NG?

As an active e-mail user I have always found email indispensable.
That e-mail also is the least secure messaging system there is of course a nuisance.

Although e-mail hast lost some of its importance to other communication systems,
I still think it is worth an upgrade.

STARTTLS is nice but its key handling and integration in e-mail clients is not
particularly useful.  Sending non-encrypted messages should be an exception.

IMHO, STARTTLS, DOMKEY and email clients could be combined so that we
get domain-secured e-mail as default.

Or is it better to create an entirely new messaging system to get rid of the legacy?

I believe the update frequency of today makes client upgrades a no-issue.
