Configure Thunderbird 128 e2e encryption with GnuPG

It took me longer than I would have liked to setup the latest Thunderbird 128 (Supernova!) to use my existing GnuPG-based encryption setup, for a large part because TB defaults to its own more straight-forward built-in defaults for key management, and so I’m going to publish the recipe here to save you some time, hopefully.

All the details, at various levels of obviousness, can be found on this Mozilla wiki page, but here I’m going to make the whole sequence more obvious.

On macOS, links of the form message://message-id are by default supported by the system.

Using a tool such as org-mac-link, it is straight-forward to link directly to relevant emails from Orgmode tasks and notes.

It does not matter if you have moved the mail around. When you open the link from Orgmode, the relevant email is instantly shown in Mac mail.

Fortunately, similar functionality can be configured on Windows and Linux using the Thunderbird mail client, an add-on called ThunderLink, and a touch of Emacs Lisp.
