TB 91 and GPG
I have not used GPG/Enigmail for some time but now I need it again. It seems that when I upgraded to version 78, Enigmail was supposed to help with the conversion but that did not happen. I am now at version 91. I was able to import my private key but cannot find how to import/convert my public key ring. Can someone point me to the right documentation? TIA.

See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/op ... to-and-faq
The OpenPGP support in version 91 defaults to using RNP but you can configure it to use gnupg. Note that gnupg and Thunderbird should be same 32/64bit.
There is a public topicbox group for thunderbird e2ee (basically openPGP support) at https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/e2ee that you might find useful. You can just browse it or join it (and get notified of new posts). See https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups ... -is-broken for example.

Re: TB 91 and GPG
Thanks but those instructions are wrong for version 91. I finally figured it out.
It is under tools->Account Settings-><the account>->End-to-End Encryption
Even though there is already a key shown, I had to 'add key' and navigate to secring.pgp to re-import the old private key. Then I had to use the 'Open Key Manager' button which listed all my old public keys. I had to double click each one and click the bottom 'yes' radio button.
