Saved Drafts are Empty after Enigmail Update

For quite a while (more than a year), I have had Enigmail installed in Thunderbird (currently using 68.3.1 32 bit on Windows 10 x64). Since then, whenever I opened an e-mail I had started writing in the Drafts folder, I was asked for some password I had set up related to Enigmail, whereupon the e-mail draft would show up.

A few days ago, Thunderbird asked me to update Enigmail, which I did. (Apparently, I now have Enigmail 2.1.4.)

Since then, opening e-mails from my Drafts folder does not bring up the password input box anymore; the e-mail drafts are opened instantly, but the e-mail body appears to be empty.

What can I do? Are the few e-mail drafts that I had lost?

  Thank you, that helped.
  
  Sorry, I hadn't read that other thread because its title (apparently referring to an explicit error message displayed somewhere) seemed to imply too dissimilar a situation from what I was experiencing (no error message, just no indication there is any encrypted or unencrypted data anywhere at all).
