Sorry, I'm heavily confused right now with this add-on. Everywhere I go, I read enigmail is not supported with thunderbird anymore, because of the build in OpenPGP functionality. It's even written on the enigmail website, also there are several threads in the forum mentioning there is no support with thunderbird 78+ and no intends to do so in the future. Yet here is this addon in Version 2.2.4.1 claiming it's compatible with 78+ only. Besides I can't find any Information about it on the website or forum. Are there even some release notes somewhere?

Please, can anyone explain to me what is going on? Does enigmail work with thunderbird 78+, is it necessary, does it add functionality? Should I use enigmail or just take the build in OpenPGP functionality of thunderbird?
