[Enigmail] Enigmail not detecting/enabling GPG anymore

[Jean-Marc Meessen]

Here are additional information:

It looks like a security related problem as when I start ThunderBird
with sudo, and install the Enigmail package, GPG is correctly detected
(as seen in the Enigmail preference option).

But I don't understand what changed with the TB brutal shutdown and the
reinitialisation of the account (I restarted from scrap).

And GPG is visible and working with the normal user.
