No automatic decryption inside the message
OpenPGP addon for Mozilla Thunderbird

Hello,
I am using Thunderbird 52.9.1 and Enigmail 2.0.8.
Just started testing Enigmail usage for the first time.
From within Thunderbird I manage two email accounts of mine (A and B).
Both have their own distinct set of public/private keys.
A is POP, B is IMAP.
When I send an encrypted and/or signed mail from A to B, the mail is automatically decrypted and nicely visualized from the B account.
When I send an encrypted and/or signed mail from B to A, the mail is visualized from the A account with no text and two attached files: ATT0 and encrypted.asc.
I am able to decrypt and save encrypted.asc to disk and then open it in a text viewer, but this is not optimal.
How could I start trying to figure out how to get automatic decryption also when sending encrypted and/or signed messages from B to A?
As far as I can tell the two mail accounts A and B have very similar (if not identical) settings in terms of Thunderbird settings and in terms of Enigmail/OpenPGP settings as well.
Thank you
Kind Regards
PS In case feedback/files are needed from my side, please provide step-by-step instructions due to my absolute beginner stage with Enigmail.

This looks to me like the messages sent from B are getting modified after they were sent.
If you attach a complete message sent from B to A to this thread, I can probably determine what's going on. Please use menu File > Save as to save the message.
Thanks Patrick!
I just saved the message in eml format.
One question before I attach it (as said I am a beginner): should I attach the eml file like it is or are there any privacy/security things I should consider before attaching that file here?
The eml file contains your email address(es) and probably the subject. If you don't want to see that public, then edit the file with a text editor and remove the information before uploading.
Thanks, here's the file.

Any info on this one? Thanks
Excuse me, but I work on Enigmail during my free time. I didn't have time to look at it so far.
The message got clearly modified by "FreePOPS/MIMER". The way the modification is made breaks the structure, such that it cannot be recognized as PGP/MIME message anymore.
There is nothing Enigmail could do about it.
Thanks Patrick.
Obviously I didn't want to push you.
Indeed no capital letters, no exclamation marks... just text and a plain request for news.
I have no idea about how long it could have taken for my question.
While I am sure I am among the ones who appreciates and support Enigmail.
You don't find any exclamation mark, nor any capital letters in my answer above. I only used capital letters for things that are written with capital letters such as "PGP/MIME".
With "no capital letters, no exclamation marks" I was referring to my own text where I was asking for news.
Just to underline that imho I didn't push with my request for news.
It was just a request for news.
Anyways it's great to have another confirmation that you work for Enigmail (mild irony here).
Thanks again for the info and for Enigmail.
