The instructions for installation of PGP Keys states:

Creating PGP keys

Create your public/private keys as follows:

   On the Thunderbird menu bar, click OpenPGP and select Setup Wizard. 

I do not get anything that says "OpenPGP" on the Thunderbird menu bar. I do, however, get an Enigmail tag. Anyone have a solution to this?

Thanks Alan

I do not get anything that says "OpenPGP" on the Thunderbird menu bar.

The "OpenPGP" menu item has been replaced by 'Enigmail' by now.

Have you installed gpg? ISTR gpg4win being useful for this.

I installed gpg4win-2.21.exe Thunderbird reports under the Enigmail tab that GNUpg was found at c:\Programfiles (x86)\GNU\pub\gpg2.exe. . . . so it sees it.

Is there supposed to be a separate tab for OpenPGP so I can install it?

Thanks Alan

Thanks. I guess I was following the instructions too closely, but I simply use dthe Enigmail instructions online and it works perfectly.
