Thank you. I do not actually have a 'prefs.js' but I do have two
'enigmail.js' files. They are very similar but not identical. One, the
shorter one, is in:

C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\u78d8n2v.default\extensions\{847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5}\defaults\pref

it is titled

/*
   Default pref values for Enigmail
*/

and contains

// show "save draft encrypted" message (and remember selected state)
pref("extensions.enigmail.saveEncrypted",0);


The other, longer, one is in:

C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\u78d8n2v.default\extensions\{847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5}\defaults\preferences

/*
   Default pref values for Enigmail */// the last configured Enigmail
version pref   (all one line)

and it contains:

("extensions.enigmail.recipientsSelection",2);

// show "save draft encrypted" message (and remember selected state)
pref("extensions.enigmail.saveEncrypted",0)


I appears that saving 'draft' emails requires that the account settings
have to be set to always sign and always encrypt. That signs all drafts
and encrypts them of course. Even if there is no key for the 'recipient'
that the email is going to. I have no idea what key Enigmail uses but I
assume mine. That is not going to be acceptable I think. Unless this
saves the draft encrypted and then sends the email unencrypted.

That will require a lot of 'per-recipient' rules.  :-)
