Since Virtru advertises full encryption with no need for recipient passwords, why doesn't Thunderbird do the same?

Virtru coming out with this "full encryption-no need for recipient to know a password", just clicks to affirm email address is correct. Works with Mozilla browser and email: Outlook, gmail, others.

Well, you have to ask Virtru why they don't provide an add-on for Thunderbird.

Thunderbird itself supports both cryptographically signing the message and encrypting it, based on the S/MIME. See this article for details.

They say they are too beta now, but will be adding themselves as an add-on for Thunderbird once things settle down.
