I would expect this being no problem as long as enigmail works. | Well, I installed it as a local extension after apt-get remove mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail, in case I wasn't clear, and it gave the same bug. The bug seems Debian-specific, as I tried on an official Mozilla build with the official extension (with another user, to be sure) and there were no problems whatsoever. I was also told on Enigmail's mozdev home that the bug was Debian specific : see http://bugzilla.mozdev.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8923

The thunderbird install was fresh - I never installed it before on this box, as far as I remember. I guess it's just a small problem in rebuilding the extension database - at least, that's what my extensive googl^H^H^H^H^Hresearches pointed me to.
Anyway, it's a weird bug, but can be a showstopper for many people - I hope I've been clear enough in my report
