Another weird behavior I am just now noticing, and maybe it is related. When I insert the Yubikey that Thunderbird wants, and type into the terminal `gpg --card-status`, it outputs as expected. The same thing occurs if I insert my GPG smartcard v2.1. However, my primary Yubikey 5 Nano, which is usually on my desktop and the one I want Thunderbird to play nice with when inserted and `gpg --card-status` is run outputs:
➜ yubikeyLockPassword gpg --card-status gpg: selecting card failed: End of file gpg: OpenPGP card not available: End of fileThe first time and then when you rerun `gpg --card-status`, it outputs the proper and expected result every time. However, this is repeatable as every time I remove and reinsert this particular Yubikey, the first card-status call falls, all later ones succeed. I wonder if this odd behavior is what's causing Thunderbird to ignore this one Yubikey.
