Hello, Enigmail re-sets mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed=false when thunderbird starts up. It's not totally clear to me of the reason for this, but I think it has something to do with inline PGP.
For years, I've been manually editing enigmail.js in my extensions directory to not do this, every time I update the extension version. It seems as though the most recent update I've done has switched over to keeping everything in an .xpi file, so it is even more of a nuisance for me to override this setting. I never use inline PGP, only PGP/mime, so I don't really understand the reason for this setting. I've had zero problems over the years forcefully re-enabling mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed=true . Signed unencrypted flowed e-mails also work great. Is there any way you can not do this for people who use PGP/mime exclusively? How prevalent is inline PGP these days? Could you make a global "Use PGP/mime" setting that uses it for every identity and then not force mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed=false, or at least give people an option in the settings to not force mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed=false with a nice disclaimer? This mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed=false thing is the one an only drawback I see of having enigmail installed. Everything else enigmail does to thunderbird seems very passive to me (which is the right way to be). I've been very impressed with all of the other improvements that have been coming to enigmail over the last few years! Thanks, -- Andy Schroder
