enigmail is installed with the crypt useflag on thunderbird.

Jory, That would be a nice local useflag addition to tb..I've seen multiple people get confused by this now.

Currently, the end user has no /real/ hint that 'crypt' pulls in enigmail:
global:crypt: Add support for encryption -- using mcrypt or gpg where applicable

What do you think?

All extensions and addons are disabled by default, go to addon manager and click on enable.

That's not correct so.
Google calendar was enabled but enigmail was disabled.

There seems some errors und configuration handling.
Previous configuration should be preserved.

After reenabling enigmal it works.
thx

crypt useflag has been redefined in metadata, thanks for reporting darkside.
