With Thunderbird versions 68.x and ealier, it has been possible to use external software with Thunderbird for OpenPGP messaging. It required the installation of GPG software and the Enigmail Add-on.
=== Background ===
With Thunderbird versions 68.x and ealier, the Enigmail Add-On made it possible to use external GnuPG software with Thunderbird for OpenPGP messaging.


Thunderbird 78, scheduled for summer 2020, will require a different solution to support OpenPGP messaging. See also our [https://blog.thunderbird.net/2019/10/thunderbird-enigmail-and-openpgp/ initial announcement] and the [[Thunderbird:OpenPGP:2020 | detailed description from October 2019]]. See the tb-planning list archive for [https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/tb-planning/2019-December/thread.html answers to some commonly asked questions].
Enigmail will no longer be available for Thunderbird 78 and future versions.
 
The Thunderbird team is working on integrated OpenPGP support, that doesn't require the installation of external software.
