Using enigmail version 2.0.12 (20190707-1417) Thunderbird 60.8.0 (64-bit) gpg 2.2.4 in UbuntuStudio 18.04 LTS
I noticed over the past couple of weeks that occasional emails in gnupg or enigmail lists appeared to have no content, only the footer. The message source showed these were signed messages. Investigation [Thunderbird's About Enigmail] showed that enigmail "failed to access its core function" on the line where it normally shows "Using gpg executable /usr/bin/gpg to encrypt and decrypt" I checked and gpg and gpg-agent were running. I haven't changed anything in the setup for years except for recent advice about keyservers. I ran the Enigmail wizard but it seems to hang whatever initial selection I make - but curiously after about 10 minutes when I've given up expecting anything to happen, I suddenly find a setup dialogue with preferences and showing that gpg has been found in /usr/bin/gpg. This seems to enable enigmail to locate gpg and it all works. Next boot up and start of Thunderbird and I'm back in the same non-functional situation. Any hints as to where I might find why enigmail can't start automatically when I launch Thunderbird?
