The instructions for installation of PGP Keys states:

Creating PGP keys

Create your public/private keys as follows: 

   On the Thunderbird menu bar, click OpenPGP and select Setup Wizard.

I do not get anything that says "OpenPGP" on the Thunderbird menu bar. I do, however, get an Enigmail tag. Anyone have a solution to this?

Thanks Alan

The "OpenPGP" menu item has been replaced by 'Enigmail' by now.

It usually helps if you state what instructions you're referring to, or simply provide a link in your OP.

Have you installed gpg? ISTR gpg4win being useful for this.

I installed gpg4win-2.21.exe Thunderbird reports under the Enigmail tab that GNUpg was found at c:\Programfiles (x86)\GNU\pub\gpg2.exe. . . . so it sees it.

Is there supposed to be a separate tab for OpenPGP so I can install it?

Thanks Alan

Thanks. I guess I was following the instructions too closely, but I simply use dthe Enigmail instructions online and it works perfectly.
