Is it possible to disable the encryption of drafts in the new Thunderbird 78.5.0 with integrated Enigmail while keeping OpenPGP activated? The answer provided here seems to be no longer valid. Thanks!

EDIT: I edited the settings manually as it was suggested below, but the problem still persists.

EDIT2: Here are my settings containing "crypt"

EDIT 3: It seems to be a known unsolved bug here. A hacky solution by editing Thunderbird's omni.ja file is proposed.

This bug was resolved in Thunderbird 91.

mail.identity.default.autoEncryptDrafts is now honored and there is even an option in the graphical settings of each account, that sets mail.identity.id<insert number here>.autoEncryptDrafts which overwrites ….default.… for that account.

Go to …

  1. Edit
  2. Account Settings
  3. mymailaddress@host.tld
  4. End-to-End Encryption
  5. Uncheck "Store draft messages in encrypted format"

Above screenshot was taken in in Thunderbird 91.20.0, but is still up to date for Thunderbird 120.2.0.

I think you're looking for the configuration option autoencryptdrafts. Open the Config Editor, search for autoencryptdrafts and change it's value to false.
