I started with a fresh profile in Thunderbird and freshly installed, default Engimail settings. I sent two encrypted mails, got an encrypted reply and then replied to the reply. That last part got sent unencrypted. I do know that I did not save it in drafts nor let it sit around a long time. I've messed with the settings a lot since then. FWIW since then I have switched the "OpenPGP Security" settings for that Thunderbird profile/account to use PGP/MIME by default. If I understand correctly from an earlier message, that is recommended over the inline PGP.
