No more inserting a digital signature?

Thunderbird version 91.xx and older used to have an option in the Composition Toolbar of the [Write] window to insert a digital signature. See attached digisig_TB91.jpg.

From Thunderbird 102.0 onwards that digital signature option is removed, though its settings in [Account Settings > End-To-End Encryption] are still there. See attached digisig_TB102.jpg.

Shall the digital signature option in the Composition Toolbar ever return?

P.S. 1. Yes, yes, I know. I can still insert a digital signature, but switching the function ON and OFF again in [Account Settings > End-To-End Encryption], is an annoyingly time-consuming hassle. 2. Do not confuse with encryption. That's a totally different function and purpose.

If the Sign button isn't visible in the toolbar you can Customize it. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-customize-toolbars

Note, this is about Customizing the Composition Toolbar of a Write window.

How do I insert that S/MIME button up there?

YES! That did it. I hadn't realised that every menu bar has a corresponding Customize window.

Thank you.
