Hello Carsten,

I was going to try this, but then I saw in the changelog for thunderbird
60.0~b6-1 some changes in the way of linking extensions, and indeed now
it works: I removed the upstream engimail extension, closed thunderbird,
installed Debian's enigmail, and now it shows up, without doing any
manual linking. Great!

I'm still puzzled by the fact that /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions
doesn't exist on my system. But I confirm it is working now.
Unfortunately TB still crashes when encrypting messages (#895808).

If you think the issue has been dealt with feel free to close this bug.

Thanks,

Paride
