That is easy.  Our mailing list admins are moderating posts from
non-subscribed posters.  For many years they are doing this without
getting much attention - time for a big KUDOS to them.

You probably want to ask this question on the enigmail mailing list:

  Enigmail user discussion list 

Enigmail is responsible for integrating GnuPG with Thunderbird.

gpg is destroying my messages ...

Basically, I'm very frustrated that gpg is losing random emails of mine.
The problem is I am NOT using it by default, but every now and then it
will "grab" a message I send. I then can only access it by typing in my
pass-phrase. (And, iirc, the menu bar displays and says DON'T sign,
DON'T encrypt!!!)

Why on earth - HOW on earth - is it encrypting messages without needing
my key? And why is it doing it? I need gpg for the odd message, but it's
a right royal pain when it does this as messages refuse to save in sent,
and I can't access emails I've sent without a load of grief.

I can't even find out how to strip this blasted encryption from my own
messages so I can see them without problem!

I'm using the gpg plug-in for thunderbird ...

Cheers,
Wol

If you are not subscribed, how did you post on this mailing list?

GPG does not initiate encryption, your MUA (Thunderbird) does. Also, GPG
does not require your own key, but the recipient's key for encryption.
Unless you Bcc yourself or add a default encrypt-to-key in GPG settings,
you won't even be able to read the encrypted message.

What is "the" plugin? Enigmail? In any case, check the plugin settings,
GPG is not the root cause for your problems, the Thunderbird plugin
calling GPG is. Change the plugin settings, or disable it.
