Encrypted/signed emails are not supported in Thunderbird 115.x

[Standard8]

Due to the impact of the changes from Thunderbird 102 to Thunderbird 115 (all of which have been good improvements for the future of Thunderbird), Conversations has required significant parts rewriting to continue working. Unfortunately due to lack of time, not all of it currently supports 115. Given that 115 is now out, it was considered better to release something that mainly works, and re-add support for the remaining parts as time becomes available.

This issue is for tracking the lack of encryption/signed email support with Thunderbird 115.

The work here is to go through Thunderbird's UI and extract the relevant parts necessary to provide the appropriate display and encryption routines, and figure out how to fit those into Conversations' architecture. I have one bit partially figured out, but it is being inconsistent and will need investigating further.

The workaround is to view the emails using the classic reader.

I just landed here after being bitten by a signed email that appeared to have no attachments (in TB 115). Can I suggest adding a warning in the conversation view, something like "warning, this email is signed/encrypted, it may not display correctly, use the classic reader if needed." until the features are back?

Thanks for all your work on this neat extension!

Unfortunately to detect enough to know that it is signed or encrypted is pretty much most of the way to fixing this issue. Hopefully I'll get time to look at it in more detail soon.

Here encrypted messages are displayed just fine with v4.1.2
