and fucking JEP 286 (yay, let's make Java like JavaScript!) is a good idea,

What’s wrong with type inference and how would that make Java like Javascript? Just because both would use the keyword “var” does not make the concept the same especially as like in C# and C++11 everything would still be statically-typed unlike Javascript.

Bad guy intercepts encrypted email he wants to read. (MITM). He injects additional HTML data into the email (in his possession).

Except the email is still encrypted at this point. How could they inject HTML into an encrypted email?

So, yes, this does act as MITM.

Except the scenario you invented is not what this flaw is about and flaw doesn’t allow tampering with the encrypted email while in transit. The email isn’t decrypted until it reaches the email client and the email client has to be one of the buggy ones that don’t actually check the failure return.
