To view some details about the processing of messages, you may set a preference in Thunderbird. Open menu Edit→Preferences→General, find the Config Editor. Add a new preference of the name <code>temp.openpgp.logDirectory</code> and set it to a string value, which must be the full name of a temporary directory, for example on Linux or macOS you could use value <code>/tmp/</code> . Once set, Thunderbird will write messages to a file named <code>enigdbug.txt</code> in that directory. The log will have a lot of information, most of which is harmless or not interesting. But it may contain clues about the cause of a problem.
