The bad news is, on Windows 10 it does not work at all. With TB78.2.0
all I get is the error 'The secret key that is required to decrypt this

Gpg4Win 3.1.12 is installed, which should also include GPGME.
The wiki article states:
"You must ensure that Thunderbird 78 can find GPGME in the system
library search path."
Great, but how do I do that on Windows? What does "GPGME" even mean
here, and what exactly is Thunderbird looking for? Is it an .exe file,
or a DLL?
Also, what is the 'system library search path' on Windows? Is it the
same as the $PATH environment variable?
GPGME is a library provided by the GnuPG maintainers, to access GnuPG
using a library level API.
IIUC common GnuPG distributions for Windows and macOS (at least newer
versions) contain this library.
If configured to be allowed, Thunderbird will attempt to load the GPGME
library.
On success you should see a message in the Thunderbird error console
that's similar to this one: "Successfully loaded optional OpenPGP
library libgpgme.so". Filter the output in the error console with gpgme
to find it more easily.
Even if you get the above working, there are still bugs on Windows, at
least this one: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1660253
I didn't have time yet to debug that, please allow more time. Help to
debug this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kai
