I recently upgraded from TB 68 --> 78.2.2 and performed the migration of my Enigmail settings into TB. I can decrypt emails from others and send encrypted and signed emails with no problem. However, in my sent folder, as well as emails to all recipients, the subject is being replaced with "...". Once selected, it will decrypt and display the entire subject. How can I change my settings to never remove the subject?

The notes for e2ee within Thunderbird 78 (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/introduction-to-e2e-encryption) state that "The subject of the mail may also remain unprotected and easily readable, even when e2ee is used.", so I was expecting it would be visible.

Hopefully I am just missing a setting, but I don't see any in the End-to-End Encryption section within my Account Settings. TIA!

Unfortunately, yes, thank you. I used Time Machine to revert back to Thunderbird 68 and will upgrade once/if a resolution is released.
