Hi all,

Many of us have recently upgraded to Thunderbird 78, which changes the
way OpenPGP keys are handled. Thanks to Frédéric, the Split GPG
documentation was updated a little over a week ago with detailed new
instructions, including a full screenshot walk-through, for how to use
Split GPG with Thunderbird 78 and higher. If you haven't already seen
it, take a look:

By the way, if anyone figures out how to automatically sign all emails,
please let me know. :)

Answering my own question:

Account Settings -> End-To-End Encryption -> Default settings for
sending messages -> [x] Add my digital signature by default

There's also an option here to require encryption by default.

However, I don't see an option to use inline signatures for
compatibility with our mailing lists.

Ok, I'm going to stop replying to both lists at the same time now.
