User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 2013051000
Steps to reproduce:
Installed and configured enigmail and would have given up if I were an average user.
Actual results:
Finally with much reading and hours of google I managed to encrypt an email but I think this should and could be made much much easier by Thunderbird.
Expected results:
I propose
1) to integrate encryption into Thunderbird and not to have an addon like enigmail
2) to have a very, very, very simple first step-by-step configuration dialogue for open-gpg-encryption, in which reasonable defaults are offered.
3) the attitude of the programmers should be to enable real dummies to setup a basic possibility for encryption. The present attitude is addressed at experts and prevents average users from using encryption.
To quote your security check box:
Many users could be harmed by this security problem: it should be made most public until it is resolved.

[Note: the use of good UI for a PGP plugin is one of the stumbling blocks of bug 22687, so it completely subsumes this request]
