When I first start thunderbird, it periodically puts up a dialog box that says:

        "Please enter the master password for the SSH Key."

I am using a Yubikey 5 to provide my gnupg key to enigmail.  I tried entering 
the PIN for the Yubikey, but the dialog box keeps popping up from time to time.

If I send myself an encrypted message, I do get a prompt to unlock the Yubikey 
with my PIN, and that works - I am able to send an encrypted message to myself. 
 Once I do that, the above dialog box stops appearing.

I've tried looking through the source code for thunderbird, enigmail, gnupg, 
and openssh, but I have not been able to find a string that matches what is in 
the dialog box.  So, I don't know what piece of software is generating the 
dialog.

Does anyone know where this message comes from, and what to do to satisfy it?

        Steve
